Bound Inside

To breathe, to think
To feel, to be
Emotion overload
Inside of me

Bound by love
And bound by the pain
Everything to lose
Everything to gain

Walk to the light
Stick to the shadows
Love confines me
Straight to the gallows

Awkwardly surrounded
Yet strangely alone
Take my soul
Anywhere but home

This too shall pass
After many years
Playing on my hopes
Playing on my fears

Another beginning
Another end
Why do I think my heart
Is something to lend?

And so it is
So it shall be
Is it life or death
That will set me free?
