lyrics

One Day – Katy Rose Bennett

When I woke up this morn, it was before the army of darkness
For a brief few moments, I thought I was free again
Then my body was shackled, shackled by something within me
And those branches look like prison bars through my window pane

And is this just for one day
Or is this forever?
I don’t know if I can stay
With no means of escape

When I walked through the park with my friend and her baby beside me
For a couple of hours, I thought I was free again
Then my head started pounding, pounding that rhythm of demons
If I stare at that river, I swear it will pull me in

And is this just for one day
Or is this forever?
I don’t know if I can stay
With no means of escape
And is this just for one day…

Dad, let’s drive to the hills
Let’s stride to the top
With the city on one side
Mountains to the right
Help me take a look at my life
In the wide open sky
Wide open
Wide open

When I woke up this morn, it was before the army of darkness
And I knew that one day soon I’d be free again

And is this just for one day
Or is this forever?
I don’t know if I can stay
With no means of escape
And is this just for one day…
… I know that I have to stay
With no means of escape

Written on one day in February 2012
