lyrics

I've been waiting on the evening to see the day go by
I've been running out of ease and my patience is tried
I've been working to save someone else's soul
I've been held down, held down
I gotta let it go

I've been seeing the words that i just can't say
I've been fighting to keep my emotions sane
I've been using this room as my escape
I've been held down, held down
I gotta let it go

I'm here, are you there?
Come on in
