What are these shackles that bind
That limit every victory
What is the name of this wall
That stands between
progress and success
What is this dam
that reigns the water in
Stopping the flow of the river
Commanding the changes to cease
I join forces
And claim the victory
Together riding out
To fight the enemy
I start out so well
But before the battle’s done
Before I can taste the freedom
This invisible blockage
Knocks me off my feet
My nameless foe
Returning to haunt me
And everything returns
To as it was before
It erases my memory
And makes me wonder
If I even tried
To break free
Of where I am today
I look over my shoulder
At the past
And find it resembles today
What happened to my resolve
What happened to the power
To grow and change and press on
Will my future be the same
Has this box I live in
Become my world
Is it true that no one
Ever really changes
Only re-arranges
Where are the promises
And why does it look like
They’ve failed
Where is the Truth
The Words that make my enemy fear
What is the problem
Holding me hear
What is it going to take
To unmask this enemy
To destroy this power
To march forward
And take the life
That was meant for me
