The Snake (Break Free)

(album: Wake The Sleeping Dragon! - 2018)

Force it down, lock it in
Hide it away like original sin
The panic builds, you're holding on
You feel it slipping, don't let it win
Don't let it win

It's back once again, unwanted old friend
Who keeps sneaking in
Dragging you down, gets under your skin
You feel you can't win
So why even try?

A darkness inside, inside your mind
It's taken its hold
A tightening grip, and down you slip
You want to give in

You've got to break out
You've got to break free
Break free!

Breathe out, breathe in
Stay calm and find the strength within
You see the light, a way out
It pulls you back, don't let it win
Don't let it win

It's back once again, unwanted old friend
Who keeps sneaking in
Dragging you down, gets under your skin
You feel you can't win, so why even try

A darkness inside, inside your mind
It's taken its hold
A tightening grip, and down you slip
You want to give in

You've got to break out
You've got to break free
Break free!

Trapped inside, the darkened mind
Nowhere to hide, you've got to
Break free!

Don't feed the lies, I think you'll find
You're not alone, reach out, fight
Break free!
