Act 10

I wake up
Terror controls me
I look in the mirror
My own self
 that I can't see

So afraid to speak the truth
So afraid of being found out
My courage
Has escaped me
So full of self doubt

So many times
 I was the God
So many times
 I made choices

Deaf to the world
I couldn't hear a word
In my head
I heard many voices

It is my game,
when I chose to play
It is my demons,
I refuse slay

(I had the keys
To my own paradise
I chose to live in hell)

I have lived in paradise
I have known hell
Hearts lay rotting
I know that smell
