Hold/Release

Affected by the expectancy
Who's 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 it's mark
I'm wide open
No, this can't last

I'm starting to believe

Euphoria will never make a home in me
When did I last feel free?
The same story of the son (who runs)
Will be told again, How he held it in
Now he's suffering
When did I last feel free?

Stretched thin again
Relentless 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
Burdened by silence, when will we speak?
Speak, It's not too late

Euphoria will never find me
