Secrets and lies are like maggots and flies
Like decay into my soul
Tales and stories are like labour and Tories
Fighting over my goal

Stop wait a minute a light just went out
Somewhere inside my mind
Far off I hear the silence shout
I can’t see I have gone blind

Wait there's a light far at the end
I’ll run, no change that I’ll walk
Its in my out box waiting to send
Just relax sit down and talk

I feel chains are lifting everyday
I feel sun kissing my head
I feel pain is drifting gently away
Today I don’t wish I were dead

So I feel progress thank god that I do
Thank someone for just being around
I feel broken but mending in two
My feet at last on the ground

I have found some hope just a small fraction
But its hope in any shape
I’m not driven mad by pure distraction
My bondage is unwinding of tape

I’m not ready to leave so don’t jump for joy
Bit I’m getting there all by myself
Could be my mind that the pills toy
But I’m keeping them here on my shelf

So I said at the start watch me real well
One day you will be shocked
I’m coming out my story to tell
This woman is not to be locked
