Hands tied, eyes closed.

So many things I've had to say

So many chances have escaped.

Facing life with blinders on

A slave to my own inhibitions.

And at times there's peace

Moments of release

From the terror that petrifies life.

But it never lasts

The sky's are overcast.

The bravado is washed away.

Hands tied, eyes closed.

The things I've had to say

Chances I've let escape

Watch them slip away, watch them die out.

Always there

Hidden fear

Of self doubt

Cant break out.

I wont let it win

I cant let it win.

I wont let it win

I cant let it win.

Close my eyes and hope

Hope it goes away

Hope I'm safe inside for another day. 

Close my eyes and hope

Hope it goes away

Hope I'm safe inside for another day.
