You’re not blind but you still can’t see
You’re not chained but you’re still not free
You’re being held hostage by the restraints in your mind…
Controlled by those who hurt you and treated you unkind
You’re not chained but you’re still not free
You’re being held hostage by the restraints in your mind…
Controlled by those who hurt you and treated you unkind
You don’t know how to love so you survive on hate
It keeps you on edge and always in a defensive state
You won’t let anyone break down your protective wall
So there’s no one there to help you up whenever you fall
It keeps you on edge and always in a defensive state
You won’t let anyone break down your protective wall
So there’s no one there to help you up whenever you fall
You wear a mask to hide all of the hurt and pain
You shed tears but hide them by standing out in rain
Hoping the cleansing will wash all your problems away
Free you of the demons using you as their prey
You’re afraid there’s a thief coming to steal your dreams
The thief is out to destroy and break you down it seems
So your fear has kept you grounded and afraid to spread your wings
One day you’ll have to free your mind and face whatever life brings
