Batten down the hatches
And close up all the doors
Secure all the latches
As my black dog uses claws
Find hard the constant battle
I admit I'm so afraid
My emotions are in tatters
And nerve endings are all frayed
I came to my senses
In my heart I have a dream
Feel pressure so intense
Fight or flight is all it sees
These trials and tribulations
Start troubles running rife
Escaping this reality
Of my sad and f**ed up life
When I shut myself in a room
From a fear of impending doom
With a light from the full moon
Can I find myself?
All alone in my cocoon
Where I recharge and retune
I'll be back here one day soon
It's where I find myself
Goes down the generations
Social ineptitude
Show signs of any weakness
No masculine attitudes
I face fists that give a beating
Spill blood behind the school
Avoid your eyes from meeting
Or pretend to act a fool
Save face and stop pretending
You can never be that cool
Feed off your biggest fear
That I must accept their rules
I get by with my demons
Like old friendships I've renewed
It's better the devil you know
Than the devil you didn't choose
When I shut myself in a room
From a fear of impending doom
With a light from the full moon
Can I find myself?
All alone in my cocoon
Where I recharge and retune
I'll be back here one day soon
It's where I find myself
When you feel like you are broken
And the world's falling apart
Still dreaming of a place
Where I find myself
Don't leave it left unspoken
What better place to start
It's deep within my soul
Where I find myself
It's time that I was woken
For me to play my part
I'm reaching for the point
Where I find myself
I leave this as a token
And I hope that you'll take heart
Tomorrow is a place
Where I find myself
