Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I was layin' in my bed last night
I was chained and I was paralysed
Like a prisoner in my own mind
Like a bad dream
I can't help it, and it's so cliché
Medicated, to get out of this state
And I'm waiting 'til the darkness breaks
Can you help me?
[Pre-Chorus]
If I put my hands to pray
Will it be too late? Ohh oh
Will ever find a way?
Or I should close the gate? Ohh oh
[Chorus]
(Will I ever?)
(Will I ever) Help myself?
(Will I ever) Speak my mind?
(Will I ever) Be alright?
(Will I ever) Will I ever? Will I ever?
[Verse 2]
Thеre's a feeling that I just can't name
And I hate it, 'causе I want to change
I'm a fighter, I can fight this pain
Now you're with me, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
If I put my hands to pray
Will it be too late? Ohh oh
Will ever find a way?
Or I should close the gate? Ohh oh
[Chorus]
(Will I ever?)
(Will I ever) Help myself?
(Will I ever) Speak my mind?
(Will I ever) Be alright?
(Will I ever) Will I ever? Will I ever?
[Bridge]
No more wasted youth
I'm done with you
I've lost my faith, I've lost my truth
Baby, I've tried it
Aah
[Pre-Chorus]
If I put my hands to pray
Will it be too late? Ohh oh
Will ever find a way?
Or I should close the gate? No oh
[Chorus]
(Will I ever?)
(Will I ever) Help myself?
(Will I ever) Speak my mind?
(Will I ever) Be alright?
(Will I ever) Will I ever? Will I ever?
(Will I ever) Help myself?
(Will I ever) Speak my mind?
(Will I ever) Be alright?
(Will I ever) Will I ever? Will I ever?
