Freeing My Heart

i could feel, sewn up shut
my heart alone, armored
with such ancient steel
and fortified for battle

you came to the gate
battered and shouted for answers
but, how could i break?
i'd be so weak, after so much time in plaster

you lay down in the mud
outside in the storm
and as the months passed
i so wanted to open the door

i called for your help
i needed your help
to tunnel in from the outside
you lit a torch
and all i could hear was you
digging through the night

oh, freeing my heart
