Home

Waking up without any clue how I got where I am
My mind′s not the sharpest thing in this room

I gotta get my hands untied
I gotta get my head to unwind
I gotta strengthen frightened eyes
I gotta get back home

I've never been this afraid of anything in plain sight
In fact right now the darkness could be my only friend

I gotta get my hands untied
I gotta get my head to unwind




I gotta strengthen frightened eyes
I gotta get back home
