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.
