Bound by the chains of fear,
Listening, unable to truly hear;
Watching, unable to see--
to see beyond the chains that maddening fears
bring forth when one has come undone.
As tricks are played within and all is dimmed.
Caught inside a darkened mind
One finds oneself imprisoned, one finds
oneself caught within walls that beg to be climbed,
chains that must be broken--
to save ones life.
To once more hear, to once more see,
and truly know what it is like to be free.
