Inside of this dark place
There's no room, no space
I live alone awaiting tomorrow
Alone with my sorrow

Beside these walls I am caged
There's spilt ink on my life's blank page
The tears burn as they sear my cheeks
Why does pain only feed on the weak?

The ashes of my burnt heart lay on the floor
My heart will beat nevermore
The empty inside I feel
A pain that becomes so real

Overtaking my bones they stage my smile
I remain its puppet for a while
I am trapped inside crying
I am alone inside dying

The words on the page help ease the sting
Though the words won't change a thing
There's a hole where it's missing
So deep I feel nothing can fill

I rest captive between these walls
Break them down make them fall
Save your breath you won't breath long
As your thoughts are turned wrong

Madness in your eyes
And pain in your lies
You're so trapped
Inside
