Well once again I find myself a captive
Held fast by my fear and insecurity
Locked up tight inside a crushing darkness
Afraid to face my vulnerability
Too long I’ve looked for the quick escape
Someway that I could circumvent the pain
But now I see that’s not a possibility
That route can only lead me here again
Nowhere to run anymore
Got to pick myself up off the floor
Nowhere to run anymore
Got to get up and open the door
For years I searched for a special place
Wherе I could lose this omnipresent wеight
A street, a town, some other land
Where all my troubles would magically evaporate
But now I see it’s not that simple
The change has got to be one of attitude
Until that happens, wherever I may go
My ball and chain are sure to be there too
Nowhere to run anymore
Got to pick myself up off the floor
Nowhere to run anymore
Got to get up and walk through the door
It’s hard, so hard, it’s hard to have to look inside
It’s hard, so hard, it’s hard when there’s no place to hide
