lyrics

It's something life beats into your heart
You've got to be down on the bottom before you can start
Breaking free out of a sandcastle dungeon is art
Let the tide carry you up to the top if you're smart
As soon as you see the light of day
Adrenaline's kicking in and you're running away
And it's so nice to feel the free air on your skin
Not looking back at the hole you just dug yourself in
You are the only thing standing in you're own way

Tie a baby elephant to a stone
It will still think that it's stuck here long after it's gone
Who are you to think you can't make it out here all on your own
You break into tears every time that you find you're alone
You built it all up, everything you could possibly want
Then throw it away like a fish that is tired of the pond
You throw it away without a simple leg to stand on
Not looking back till it's over and everything's gone
You are the only thing standing in you're own way
