• INTRODUCTION:
    The secrets that I hold are overdue
    The fear that's bound me courses through
    I hold the fear, and it holds me
    Locked up, waiting for an epiphany

    PRE-CHORUS 1:
    I reach out from my prison
    Irony's perfect painted picture
    And wonder if you can hear me
    In this--my silent fixture

    CHORUS:
    No bars, no walls, only me
    Yearning to break free
    And run to you, I will be
    All that I can be

    VERSE:
    I have stared into the face of darkness
    Only to realize it was all a lie
    The abyss that sullied my intentions
    I stared into it, and it into I

    PRE-CHORUS 2:
    The caged goldfinch perished from starvation
    And Prufrock never seized his time, his day
    Either one is a path of damnation
    And so I strive to make my own way

    CHORUS:
    No bars, no walls, only me
    Yearning to break free
    And run to you, I will be
    All that I can be

    ((Instrumental Break))

    BREAK:
    Too afraid to dip my feet in
    Reflections of battles I fought
    Is it where I am or I've been
    That births my self-defeating thought?

    But where there's darkness there is light
    Only a light can cast shadows
    But where is this source, the candle?
    When this world is all I can handle?

    VERSE 2:
    I stop and consider my direction
    I walk your path, not as an outsider
    There, in the stream, I see my reflection
    I wish for the sun, over my shoulder

    CHORUS:
    No bars, no walls, only me
    Yearning to break free
    And run to you, I will be
    All that I can be
