i need to raise the barriers

bring back up those walls

harden up my heart

before a mighty fall



i cannot be this naked

i cannot be this raw

i cannot feel this much

i cannot feel... no more



too tired with emotion

too tired with the strain

too tired with the prospect

too tired with the pain!!!



the journey continues

the journey to where?

the journey of life

but who the fuck cares?



i need to focus inward

to see the way back home

i need to walk the path

to know i'm not alone



i need to understand

why man was made a man

to never lose the sight

of walking hand in hand



to reach toward the light

to wrap the dark around

to hold onto the dream

to listen for that sound



the walls must fall

the body must feel

the heart will learn

how to heal....
