let me out

I wanna put my hands on the walls
of the alley behind me,
feel the bricks and cement crumble
as I caress them with my blood and tears.

let me out,
I don't want to breathe,
set me on fire and let me burn my sins,
if only it was that easy... I cant breathe.

can you take me home again?
dragged by my feet,
stirred through the dust and mud,
it feels like I can think now
or I can at least feel.

walking down the alley of death
the shadows that stare at me,
they don't scare me no more
they wait for me to be one with them.

broken pieces of mirror
lay around my feet,
I push away with each step.
the hanging thread around my neck
not strong enough to **** me
just leaves cuts and marks
that once defined my past.

Somehow I still roam free,
they haven't put me away yet
free to hurt and destroy,
like a toxin left in drinking water
or poison injected in the air
I **** with my whispers
and yet I walk free...
chained by my sins,
alive, dead and alive again.

I know you think I'm someone,
somebody you control,
but I've fought through hell
and the devil itself lost.
