I lock away that familiar pain in a place so that it's safe and I put on a face that misleads the ones close to me Tucked inside treasures of mine sit patiently waiting for the perfect time My selfish, my kind, my loves, my prides, my pensive side, my secrets rob the heart blind
Over there behind the door are things I love and fear and so much more Tapping louder than before the more intense the more ignored The grey is flooded often with those hauntings in percussion My childish dreams and fantasies keep them under lock and key
Should I let them out to escape the sound?
Where am I gonna go To flee my sanity I'm always running From all the things I keep Inside To leave my sanity I always hiding From everything in front of me
My Life Is creeping up on me I try to hide it from all my friends and family But why For all that I see That beat's still coming through clearly
So tell me what should I do - would you let them out and let em' play through The song of Lenore, the love and pain that keep my core Hush, can you hear the pounding If walls could talk and doors could speak of what they've seen inside of me tucked down deep in the corner of my memory - Hush, can you hear them coming Sick of running from the past I will reveal the truth at last to anyone who wants to know this is how my story goes...
Who was watching a wasp when I started thinking Why can't I be the real me Here are my faults, they come as I am breathing Why can't I be the real me You love what you don't know so now I am asking Why can't you love - love the real me
I will try to set it free Release the demons that I keep It is time to turn the key Open the door and be the real me
