A hand to hold the leash
A chain around my neck
It’s not that I feel pain
I only feel regret
The fortress is still there
Of that I’m well aware
The collar never burns
It’s my burden to bear
So if I sound distraught
It’s only that I care
There’s not much more to say
So let’s leave it that way
The candle burns a flame
Reminding me to sweat
It’s not that I feel pain
I only feel regret
I’m breaking down the walls
Before I lose it all
I watch the tower fall
And quickly run away
Avoiding all the holes
That open in my way
A path with lots of bends
And one that gently ends
A shadow on my face
Some sunshine in my eyes
A cool breeze on my skin
I’m out I realize
And never to return
And never to return
And never to return
And never to return
