Into the darkness and back

Feelings are so strange 'Cause you can't just throw them away They come back to haunt you unless you deal with them in some way They teach our kids to be good But what good does that really do It only makes them feel bad each time a feeling comes up So they just shut it away To a deep, dark and lonely place Where the child must forever stay, locked in place Never to feel again Growing up is so strange You leave your self behind in a way The outside world doesn't care about what's going on in your head And the pain will make itself known There's a point where a voice says "enough!" From deep inside your soul something snaps and there's no holding on Broken bars let the child inside go Back to light, back to consciousness Far away from that emptiness, deep inside Whole again, no more lies...
