Music and lyrics by Ryan Hobler.

lyrics

Humble eyes and pretty face
It's not surprise you stay in place
But when will you know?
When will you know?
When will you know you're free?
There's more that you can be
But you just don't believe

There's a world outside
But you stay in your room
You're afraid of the moon

A troubled mind
Is a ball and chain
That drags behind
The steps you take
But will you let go?
Will you let go?
Will you let go of him?
You please his every whim
But his love for you is dim

There's a world outside
But you stay in your room
You're afraid of the moon

To blind the light
And drop the shade
Is your own device to hide away
But when will you know?
When will you know?
When will you know the truth?
No the darkness can't refuse
A moonbeam coming through

Cuz there is light in the dark
Turning tides and making marks
There is light in the dark
Turning tides and making marks
Wherever you are
You will not get that far

There's a world outside
But you stay in your room
You're afraid of the moon
