lyrics

a monstrous fear lies coiled in wait
wary eyes watching for an escape
once it whispered dread, now it's guarding the front door
it won't let me out anymore
so I watch from my tower, an insulated coward
the only place I find peace
so come on over brother, come on in my lover,
just please don't ask me to leave.
strap by strap, struggling free of this
straightjacket stitched up with irrational fears and regrets
a one man meta riot in a room no one can see
ends with the door kicked down, an imprisoned voice saying
"not another day of falling into line
of watching from safe towers, living a life that I despise."
this sterile challenge-less state is all I know, (it's not helping anything, not helping anything)
no locks to pick apart these walls I've sown, (sickness manifest into brick and stone)
their dust will cover me from head to toe, when finally, with willing curiosity I step outside.
