Bound
Bound
Bound to society
The chains bind us visible only
To those who suffer
Each one of us
A slave
To those who came before
A binding contract
Written in our
History
The shadows of doubt
Cover all of us
Only those who have the
Courage
Break from the chains
And we are bound
Bound to or past
To our mistakes
The rules that governs us
Made from mistakes
The fire within us all
For some it still burns
Others the fire is extinguished
By the dying hopes of those in the dark
The calls of those who fight the chains
Drowned by the mournful cries
Of those who watch
A constant struggle
Between
Fear and truth
What we fear is
Truth
All that is truth we
Fear
Bound to society
Hiding in the shadows
The fire gone
Fears coming true
This is what we live in
This is our
Society
This is what we fear
Yet it is our
Truth
