Hold/Release

Affected by the expectancy
Who's opinions determine the course of the life you lead?
This can't last
A hold with no release

What they want to see
Tradition hitting it's mark
I'm wide open
No, this can't last

I'm starting to believe.

Euphoria will never make a home in me
When did I last feel free?
The same story of the son
Will be told again. How he held it in.
Now he's suffering
When did I last feel free?

Stretched thin again
Relentless wishing
A pursuit with no еnd
The pressure is hidden
Slowly building and buckling to vent

The tendency being to define the strong as silent
Though they speak of fear
They hide a loss of innocence and a rolling tear

There's relief in conversation but we don't... speak of this
We don't speak

Euphoria will never make a home in me
When did I last feel free?
The same story of the son
Will be told again. How he held it in.
Now he's suffering
When did I last feel free?

Burdened by silence, when will we speak?
Speak.
It's not too late
It's not too late

Euphoria will never make a home in me
When did I last feel free?
The same story of the son
Will be told again. How he held it in.
Now he's suffering
When did I last feel free?
