I have walked with this smile in place
But beneath the surface ,
I I'm burning in my hellish inferno
I'm tortured by memories
I'm tortured by the faint touch
In every corner of my mind lays a monster
I'm trapped in a house of nightmares
There's no escape ....
I can't breath when phantom hands
Are wrapped around my neck
And yet while I lay here dying
I'm forced to stay alive
And yet I Kay here crying
My tears I'm forced to hide....
I've been strong enough
My arms are growing tired
I rather let go
But I'm chained and barred down
The clouds are out if my reach
This razor blade ...
Is my only release
Pain let's me know I'm real
And that this isn't another dream
Growing up to fast
Dying to slow
The sun doesn't rise in my world
And evil never dies
I'm stuck behind the bars
Of a prison
That I am trapped
Lights are in the sky
They bid me goodbye
I am alone ...
To wave goodbye
