Drifting into infinity
never to return again
a slave to life is all I am
unwinding paths leading to nowhere

A million lifetimes I've cried
I found out I can't change who I really am
I've opened me eyes only to close them tight and hide
I've cut strings to this world

Days keep getting me down
you try to get under my skin
wishing I could burn away all my emotions
and turn them all to ash

Never wanting to lose this battle that wages inside
wanting someone to come and rescue me from myself
tearing down my fortress of self imprisonment
only to build up a stronger force of solitude

Causing inner doubt and turmoil
craving the acceptance everyone should have
left alone to heal through the shattered pieces
I have to find myself againFinding my True Self

Drifting into infinity
never to return again
a slave to life is all I am
unwinding paths leading to nowhere

A million lifetimes I've cried
I found out I can't change who I really am
I've opened me eyes only to close them tight and hide
I've cut strings to this world

Days keep getting me down
you try to get under my skin
wishing I could burn away all my emotions
and turn them all to ash

Never wanting to lose this battle that wages inside
wanting someone to come and rescue me from myself
tearing down my fortress of self imprisonment
only to build up a stronger force of solitude

Causing inner doubt and turmoil
craving the acceptance everyone should have
left alone to heal through the shattered pieces
I have to find myself again
