I Hold The Keys
[Verse]
Brick by brick I built it high
A monument to every lie
The echoes of love I never knew
Each stone a scar from breaking through
[Prechorus]
No doors no key no open sky
This fortress stands where dreams go die
[Chorus]
Impenetrable walls of glass
A prison where the shadows pass
No one enters no one sees
Trapped inside but I hold the keys
[Verse 2]
The voices fade the air is thin
A world outside I’ll never win
A garden grows but roots don’t reach
Silence speaks where words can’t teach
[Bridge]
I shout I scream but it won’t crack
The weight of time it pushes back
A mirror shows the face I hide
This fragile cage where I confide
[Chorus]
Impenetrable walls of glass
A prison where the shadows pass
No one enters no one sees
Trapped inside but I hold the keys

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
