John H Maloney - Let Me Out

Locked down inside myself to
Make sure that I did not do
Anything that I might ever regret
A lifetime spent in hiding
Constantly deriding
Myself so would never forget

Where I was taught that I belong
And what I would never be
But now I know that they were wrong
And so I've got to figure out how to set myself free

Just how I wound up here
Still isn't exactly clear
But I know it started long ago
Turns out I held on too tight
To a picture that wasn't right
There was just no way for me to know

That it was never about me
It wasn't my fault at all
And now it's become clear to see
That there was never any reason for me to take the fall

It's time I took another look
At what I can't get past
And took myself down off the hook
Let myself breathe at last

Now I see the only way out
Is to lose all of this self-doubt
And finally learn how to trust
That I'll know what to do
And find a way to get through
Before I'm worn right down into dust

Once I escape this prison cell
And make my way back to me
I hope that I learned not to dwell
On the same old absurd and toxic irrationality
