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.
