lyrics

Feelings are so strange
‘cause you can’t just throw them away
they come back to haunt you unless you deal with them in some way

they teach our kids to be good
but what good does that really do
it only makes them feel bad each time a feeling comes up,
so they just shut it away

to a deep, dark and lonely place
where the child must forever stay, locked in place
never to feel again

Growing up is so strange
you leave your self behind in a way
the outside world doesn’t care about what’s going on in your head

And the pain will make itself known
there’s a point where a voice says “enough!”
from deep inside your soul something snaps and there’s no holding on
broken bars let the child inside go

Back to light, back to consciousness
far away from that emptiness, deep inside
whole again, no more lies…
