Let Go

Let go

 

Alone and afraid

Crazy is your normal, your defense

Cradle it in your arms, keep it close

 

Desperation hidden behind smiles

Antics performed for their benefit

Your face will never reveal

 

Step off that bullet train before you derail

Before you fall back into the shadows

Angels may take you too soon

 

Open the door and welcome today

Drink from the fountain not the bottle

The devil will fade from red to white

 

Unlock the pain pushed down to survive

Denied the truth for so long

It kept you safe and seemingly sane

 

Persona created as a child to cope, to deal

Left scars from alienation

Let go, free yourself
