Intro: 4 bars (key of A)

The doubts I have about myself
Are chains I strain to break
I’m caught up in a tug of war
Don’t know which side to take

I’ve built walls without windows
For fear of what I’d see
What lies in the shadows
A darker side of me

These eyes are blind my tongue is tied
Can’t see or speak the truth
The weeds they overgrow my mind
Where logic can’t take root

I’ve built walls without windows
For fear of what I’d see
What lies in the shadows
A darker side of me

There’s a tiger on the prowl
No one else can see
He stays hidden from your eyes
Sees the world thru me

Instrumental: 8 bars

The doubts I have about myself
Are chains I strain to break
I’m caught up in a tug of war
Don’t know which side to take

I’ve built walls without windows
For fear of what I’d see
What lies in the shadows
A darker side of me

I’ve built walls without windows
For fear of what I’d see
What lies in the shadows
A darker side of me

A darker side of me
