I shy away from living expectations
Try to be just who I am
But here I am I'm denying satisfaction
Building a fortress from self doubt and fear

There's no way I can
Justify hiding myself anymore
Imprisoned in good intentions
I must release me

Content in shadows, full of inhibitions
Scared to breathe in, in case I am found
I can no longer sit idly by while
Inside I cower afraid of life


There's no way I can
Justify hiding myself anymore
Imprisoned in good intentions
I must release me

There must be much, much more
Much more than I have found
There must be beauty hiding
Cowering in the crevices in my world
I need a key, a way out
My exit call
And enter into a new scene
A new moment
A new world
This is my moment
This is time
Awaken, know no bounds
Reach inside
Reach for life

There's no way I can
Justify hiding myself anymore
Imprisoned in good intentions
I must release me
