Lyrics
Close and lock the door and leave me on the inside.
I?ll stand here with my pain you stand there with my pride.
Think of my weakness that weighs me down.
I?ll use my crutch of resistance if I am allowed.
Am I allowed to care? Am I allowed to scream?
Am I allowed to conceal myself within a dream?
I can?t stand to still. I can?t walk too slow.
If I think of where I am, I?ll forget where I need to go.
Take me far away from this lonely place.
Show me where I?ll be free to hide my face.
Steal away the thoughts that make me this way.
If you allow me to talk will you listen to what I say?
Can you give me a name? Can you give me a voice?
If I give you control would you give me a choice?
Think of why I came think of where you hide.
If I give you my life, would you keep your hand inside?
Take a part of me when you move out of sight.
Believe whatever I say assume that I?ll be alright.
I will take up time, I will fill up space.
I will mean less to you when you show me my dying place.
Can you show me direction? Can you leave me alone?
Can you trust me to use what I?ve never known?
Let my memory eat away at my mind.
If I bring what I learned, I will leave what I know behind.
