Tether (feat. Kerry Courtney)

I've been finding it hard to move on brother
For too long I've been sheltered in place
I need the courage to step out of here sister
For too many days I've been playing it safe
The contents of this bottle do not lie
It's what it takes sometimes to feel alright
Everyday I follow the path I chose to lead
If I always wallow in self pity I'm bound to its leash
I played the part so well now I don't know what to believe
I'm tethered to where I fell until I find the strength to leave
Freedom is not contained to a mind only acquainted with four walls
For what knowledge is truly gained
By the familiar echoes of its halls?
What past mistakes made can ever be learned from?
When everyday is the same, an equation never differing in sum
The days and nights keep passing by
Taking chemicals to stay alive
Everyday I follow the path I chose to lead
If I always wallow in self pity I'm bound to its leash
I played the part so well now I don't know what to believe
I'm tethered to where I fell until I find the strength to leave
