All I see

All I see 
are those who think they can't live
how they want to.
They hold themselves back,
not realizing they are the ones 
who chained themselves to the wall.
Who drew the curtains down.
Who said, no you can't
you can't do anything.
Who locked the door shut and didn't 
let anyone in.

And even though it was their doing, they feel 
the devil forced them in. 

There's no way out to the open
world because all they know is darkness,
and all they know is cold. 

They can't figure out they hold the key to their own Destiny.
They don't understand they are trapped in their own fear; 
their own misery. 

If only they knew, that all they had to do 
was take the key and unlock the door that has hidden
all the fear; all the insecurities.

But they're too busy hiding in the corner on a rug
with a candle barely lit.
And they sit 
with fear in their eyes 
because they don't know how to get out.

They don't realize that they are the ones who locked themselves in.
Yes, they are the ones who shut everybody out. 
But the fear of the unknown and the false perception of life restrains 
them from living how they want to.

So they continue to sit on that old raggedy rug
with the candle barely lit. 
And they still don't know what's outside that rusted
locked door.

Yeah all I see 
are those who think they can't live 
how they want to;

including me.
