Lyrics:

batten down the hatches.
and close up all the doors
secure all the latches.
as my black dog uses claws
find hard the constant battle
i admit i'm so afraid
my emotions are in tatters
and nerve endings are all frayed
i came to my senses
in my heart i have a dream
feel pressure so intense
fight or flight is all it sees
these trials and tribulations
start troubles running rife
escaping this reality
of my sad and fucked up life


when i shut myself in a room
from a fear of impending doom
with a light from the full moon
can i find myself
all alone in my cocoon
where i recharge and retune
i'll be back here one day soon
it's where i find myself

it goes down the generations
social ineptitude
show signs of any weakness
no masculine attitudes
i face fists that give a beating
spill blood behind the school
avoid your eyes from meeting
or pretend to act a fool
save face and stop pretending
you can never be that cool
feed off your biggest fear
that i must accept their rules
i get by with my demons
like old friendships i've renewed
it's better the devil you know
than the devil you didn't choose


when i shut myself in a room
from a fear of impending doom
with a light from the full moon
can i find myself
all alone in my cocoon
where i recharge and retune
i'll be back here one day soon
it's where i find myself

when you feel like you are broken and the worlds falling apart
still dreaming of a place
where i find myself
don't leave it left unspoken what better place to start
it's deep within my soul
where i find myself
it's time that i was woken for me to play my part
i'm reaching for the point
where i find myself
i'll leave this as a token and i hope that you'll take heart
tomorrow is a place
where i find myself
