LYRICS

There's a curtain on a window
I'm on the outside trying to look inside but I can't see a thing
There's a deadbolt on the front door
I'm on the outside knocking but there's nobody to let me in

I feel like becoming something greater than myself today
So open up and won't you lead the way
Lead the way in

I've got to get out, I've got to get out of my head
I feel so twisted and tangled, but I'm the one who weaved the web
Sometimes it feels like I've got to go at it alone
I want salvation but is that something I can find on my own?

I'm groping in the darkness
But I've heard that's good enough for you
So open me up and fill me up with light

I don't know how much further I can go
Trapped within and I don't know my way home
Maybe it's not outside at all
But right where I am
Here I am

Lift me up now, lift me up into the light
I'm so tired of what I see going on down here
There's an angel sitting on one side of my mind
On the other side the devil sits with so much to say

I'm groping in the darkness
But I've heard that's good enough for you
So open me up and fill me up with light

I don't know how much further I can go
Trapped within and I don't know my way home
Maybe it's not outside at all
But right where I am
Here I am

I don't know how much further I can go
Trapped within and I don't know my way home
Maybe it's not outside at all
But right where I am
I don't know how much further I can go
Trapped within and I don't know my way home
Maybe it's not outside at all
But right where I am
Here I am
Liberate me
Liberate me
