Feel it falling off like clothing Taste it rolling on your tongue See the lights above you glowing Oh, and breathe them deep into your lungs It was always simple, not hidden hard You've been pulling at the strings Playing puppeteer for kings And you've had enough But the search ends here Where the night is totally clear And your heart is fierce So now you finally know That you control where you go You can steer So hold this feeling like a new born Of freedom surging through your veins You have opened up a new door So bring on the wind, the fire and the rain It was always simple, not hidden hard You've been played at a game Called remembering your name And you stuffed it up But the search ends here Where the night is totally clear And your heart is fierce So now you finally know That you control where you go You can steer, oh So now you finally know That you control where you go You can steer 'cause you've been listening for answers Oh, but the city screams and all your dreams go unheard But the search ends here Where the night is totally clear And your heart is fierce So now you finally know That you control where you go You can steer, oh Yeah, get out of the box and step into the clear, oh 'cause now you finally know you can steer
