Barriers

You came to me like an epiphany
Opened my eyes to worlds I never thought I'd see
You were carrying grief and low self-esteem
A big shield that's seen as hostility

It takes time to build a little bit of trust
So many dreams you've seen just crumble into dust
You wear a mask that says you ain't fussed
But you know your armour's starting to rust
Starting to rust
Starting to rust
Starting to rust

These barriers were put here
By the universe
They made the masks that you wear
And the roles that you rehearse
Break down the walls
Find the strength to face the darkness
Shatter the mould
Liberated from the heartless

I could never truly understand or even contemplate
The pain that you have felt while staring deep into the eyes of hate
And even though I try my best to help you recognise your worth
The damage done was so ingrained it made you feel like you were cursed

It's not your fault that they left you
It's not your fault that they blamed you
But now it's time to open up your mind
And take pride inside coz you made it through
You made it through

These barriers were put here
By the universe
They made the masks that you wear
And the roles that you rehearse
Find your resolve
Embrace the will to write your own truth
Take back control
Release the anguish that defined you

These barriers were put here
By the universe
They made the masks that you wear
And the roles that you rehearse
Break down the walls
Find the strength to face the darkness
Shatter the mould
Liberated from the heartless

Take a step into your new reality
There are so many doors but you hold the keys
Full of self-belief and armed with the means
To shape the course of your destiny
