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
