I'll sing a cowards song So what if i'm wrong Just let me be Oh how fast the world turns over How fast the apple spoils Substance turns to ash And colors fade to black The key is turned, and a free man becomes a prisoner My conviction was a lock on the door and now its broken Six panels of faded mahogany The only barrier between you and me The only way out is if i let you in
