I want to keep you tied down like this.
Captured in my boundaries.
Following my rules.
You must listen to what I have to say.
You must do what I tell you.
It's all about me for once.
But that's not reality.
Here, you're in charge.
You keep me trapped.
Tied down.
Free-less.
Alone.
You're making me become someone I'm not.
Someone unreal.
Someone I don't want to be.
If I could, I'd run.
If I'd run, I'd hide.
If I'd hide, you'd never find me.
I'd be free but scared.
Scared but free.
Happy but lonely.
Lonely but happy.
A mix of emotions so un-innocent it's blinding.
Because of you I'm not innocent.
I've been lost in a world of knowledge beyond my years.
So if you must keep me here.
Scared and fearful.
Then I pray the angels sing me to sleep and take me away from this pain.
From this place you call home.
Set my soul free.
