Held in restraints
        No one could know
                 How I longed to break free
                         From the corroding
                                That were holding me
                          I ripped myself free
                  And I ran far away
          And I might return
But not today


                                                                It was taking over me
                                                       Pulling me forwards
                                                Giving me the strength to run
                                        From my darkened past
                                  I had to get out
                                         And now I can fly
                                                But every now and then
                                                        I can still feel
                                                                The chains that gripped me

             Some days I feel
                        Like it might not be enough
                                To simply run away
                                      I’ll have to face it someday
                                That thing is a part of me
                         And I might return
             But not today
