"Hidden Fences"

"Hidden Fences"©

All the people walking around, thoughts, running through their heads

Not telling anyone for fear of things, that just might be said

There are things that they won't talk about of secrets, they just can't say

They keep them bottled up inside to them, it's just another day

In a prison of torment and pain, the past won't let them go

Their mind cannot function as it should, their self-esteem is low

All the sadness and anxiousness like a poison, running through their veins

Depression and worthlessness, the doubts, are driving them insane

Chorus

Hidden fences built so high that no one can see into their life

Hidden fences all around them it's the only way that they can deal with strife

Hidden fences their protection, so that all, the world cannot see

Hidden fences cage them in, locked away, inside their sanctuary

The fence is so high, like a fortress, you cannot enter in

It's the place where they bide, living life, they know they cannot win

They just won't let you in, there's no gate, to keep you all outside

They live a lonely bitter life; it's where they go when they want to hide.

 Chorus

Hidden fences built so high that no one can see into their life

Hidden fences all around them it's the only way that they can deal with strife

Hidden fences their protection so that all the world cannot see

Hidden fences cage them in, locked away, inside their sanctuary
