Clawing your way up the walls,
Holding the key but never finding the door,
Locked on the inside you remain.
Struggling to break from the ties,
Almost there but you still compromise,
Joining hands but you're still on your own at midnight.

Sucked in by the flow of the tide,
Whatever the circles it's the easier ride,
But in doing so you sacrifice yourself.
Fear of being out on your own,
Fear of setting foot in the great unknown,
Binds you to captivity you create your chains.

But one must learn before one may teach
That liberation is dependent upon your honesty.
Whatever you desire to do,
Whatever you want whatever is you,
Live by your standards, your law,

Your standards, your law [8x]

Listen and try to understand
The peelings within these lines.
Our strengths, our hopes, our anger,
Our will to stay alive.

Desperate to communicate
The Beauty of our dreams.
Wanting but never knowing
If our message is received.
