Its Just My Words Coming From Inside

Trapped away are my feelings under lock and key
They are begging me to release them so they can be free
They go deeper every time you come around 
I open my mouth but then there is no sound

Its just my words coming from inside 
They must be released because they can no longer hide

You cannot control me and keep me in fear
Hold back my voice when I need to be clear
I’ll say what I want right from the start
Don’t try to stop what comes straight from the heart

Its just my words coming from inside 
They must be released because they can no longer hide

You say if reflects on you and How you look
I need to write what I want and that’s the vow I took
I thought that was a freedom we had until our very end
If you suppress me you are not at all my friend

Its just my words coming from inside 
They must be released because they can no longer hide
