Emblem

I can go anywhere
What I hold right now
Is the sound of life that will never fade away

When I hit a wall, I’m all alone
As far as I can see, it stretches wide
Somewhere on this wall that’s appeared
There’s a new door waiting to be found

Behind what I’ve chosen
Are the things I didn’t pick
One day, the things I let go of
Hold the key to open that door

Still,

I have to move forward from here, what I hold right now
Is proof that I tried to protect something, even if it meant giving up
Sometimes it becomes a sword, sometimes a shield
That’s surely the key to unlock the path ahead that’s been blocked

The twisted truths I’ve piled up on lonely nights
If I were bold enough to cry out loud, I’d be

What I’ve been hiding is something I’ve always wanted to spit out
Even if what I’ve decided one day is just some petty grudge, still

What’s shaping me now, having made it this far
Is the days I kept pretending to be strong while swallowing my weakness
So I won’t forget, I hang it in front of my heart
Every time I squeeze it, it feels like it’s piercing my palm

The more I grow strong, the more I forget that weakness inside
What I gained by being scared is true strength
I can’t think of wanting anything anymore, I just
Want to rely on the sound of life I’ve been hearing from the start

I have to go as far as I can, what I hold right now
Is proof that keeps shining, even if it’s full of scars
Sometimes it becomes a sword, sometimes a shield, that’s
Surely the key to unlock the path ahead that’s been blocked.
