Wanted to Be Lyrics by At Night I Fly

Mirror Maze

2019

Fields of broken mirrors, tiles of untold tales
They’re calling me
To keep up here to stay
Walk through false reflections, searching for a trail
I drive in dark
But still avoid to flee
Control held by loved ones, dullness sweet and pure
It’s part of me
But clearing out makes free
Part of hope departed, a part seem to remain
But it all pretends
And simulates a frame
(of) All that I wanted to be
All for once I prayed
All the hopes I used to keep
To be somebody - but not someone who’s blamed
Splinters sharp but shining, liberating pain
They call again
But I refuse
('cause) All that I wanted to be
Stilly fade away
This time I just want to leave
Release myself
And make that line so straight
Fields of the unknown - clear and plain
Give me the chance now
To build again
Here I am to breathe again, the calling I obey
To make this field my new domain
The splinters gone and
I just need to stay
All that I wanted to be
All for once I prayed
All the hopes I used to keep
To be somebody
And now I know - it’s real
All that I wanted to be
All that I became
The fields of mirrors led me how
To be someone
So I just need to stay
Been away
Need to stay
