Tearing Down The Walls - Original Written by TJ Gaghan

Fear is the mind and heart killer and walls are only temporary protection from what we don't want to see about ourselves or the world around us. Eventually, though, the walls must come down or we condemn ourselves to our fears and never moving beyond them.

Lyrics:

I thought I'd find myself
Somewhere along the way
I didn't count on it but I knew it just the same
I searched for reasons but found meaning in its place
I looked for feelings but emotions you just can't replace

Oh everything that you're made of
On any day I wish I could
With anything that I'm thinking of
Or anyone I've placed above myself

I can't believe I've never seen this before
I thought I knew myself but now I'm not so sure
And still I wish I could just shut the door
And live my life out in
Someone else's picture of a perfect world
On any day I wish I could

I'm tearing down the walls
I've paid the price
And now its time that I moved on
A prisoner by default
Judged and Juried and Executed by my own thoughts

Just when I thought I understood how far I'd come
With no sense of freedom I guess I missed it after all
I stopped to wonder if I ever got that far
Just in time for all my fears to catch me off guard
And send me back to that hiding place
And all my fears I could never face
No I won't let it happen again
I can forever, say never, my friend.

I'm tearing down the walls
I've paid the price
And now its time that I moved on
A prisoner by default
Judged and Juried and Executed by my own thoughts

I'm tearing down the walls
I've paid the price
And now its time that I moved on
A prisoner by default
Judged and Juried and Executed by my own thoughts

Suggestion man .This song would sound good for a band. Electric guitar, bass electric piano, drums??? What do you think?

I Love the suggestion but don't really have the experience with working in a band or even know how to get other people interested in working on it. Hmmmm...TJ
