[Verse]

Affected by the expectancy

Whose opinions determine the course of the life you lead?

This can’t last

A hold with no release

What they want to see

Tradition hitting its mark

I’m wide open

No, this can’t last

I’m starting to believe..


[Chorus]

Euphoria will never make a home in me

When did I last feel free?

The same story of the son, will be told again

How he held it in, now he’s suffering

When did I last feel free?


[Verse]

Stretched thin again

Relentlеss wishing

A pursuit with no end

The pressure is hidden

Slowly building and buckling to vent

The tendency being to define the strong as silent

Though they speak of fear

They hide a loss of innocence and a rolling tear

There’s relief in conversation but we don’t… speak of this

We don’t speak


[Chorus]

Euphoria will never make a home in me

When did I last feel free?

The same story of the son will be told again

How he held it in, now he's suffering

When did I last feel free?


[Bridge]

Burdened by silence, when will we speak?

Ohh Speak

It’s not too late

It's not too late

Euphoria will never find me


[Chorus]

Euphoria will never make a home in me

When did I last feel free?

The same story of the son will be told again

How he held it in, now he's suffering

When did I last feel free?
