Restart - George Perris

I hear them

Voices without a name

Telling me to run

I see them

Faces that have no shame

Leaving me behind

So down here

There’s no light that can exist

Even time standing still

They think I’m defeated

But I’m still breathing

Now here I am again

But who I’m meant to be

I had to look inside

And feel the dark to see

So here I am again

Now with a lion’s heart

I had to fall a thousand times

Before I could restart

Reveal them

Scars that I have earned

Maps upon my skin

I feel them

Traces of all the pain

They will fade away

So from here

I am free from all the blame

From the guilt from this game

A heartbeat a whisper

And I’m still breathing

Now here I am again

But who I’m meant to be

I had to look inside

And feel the dark to see

So here I am again

Now with a lion’s heart

I had to fall a thousand times

Before I could restart

Now here I am again

But who I’m meant to be

I had to look inside

And feel the dark to see

So here I am again

Now with a lion’s heart

I had to fall a thousand times

Before I could restart
