Repressed Emotions

I take an elevator to a dark place deep within me (Aah)
I approach a cage to all my repressed thoughts (Ooh)
They stand back there in the shade, parched and hungry
Those emotions that I'd locked behind cold bars

Should I drop my mask and choose a new beginning?
Should I let them all out one by one?
I am fighting my body but am I winning?
I need to break the circle, because I got it wrong

In the cage I see my anger, shame and sadness (Aah)
And in the corner squat my selfishness and my fear (Ooh)
But it's all a coin with 2 sides. (Are you ready to lock them both?)
If you hide one, you hide the other too, my dear

Should I drop my mask and choose a new beginning?
Should I let them all out one by one?
I am fighting my body but am I winning?
I need to break the circle, because I got it wrong

If I suppress my anger, I ignore my boundaries
If I suppress my selfishness, I ignore my needs
If I suppress my fear, I push away my protector
I suppress my sadness and push away what's important to me

Stop wasting all your energy on hiding us
That doesn't change the fact that we exist
Learn to value us and learn to express yourself
After all, we' re the protectors of your needs
