You were the world I turned to
my shelter from the driving rain
you promised me a safe haven
while I mourned and shed this pain

with your love you built this house
you worked so selflessly
you became my safe place to fall
from a world so cruel and mean

I didn't know that while you were building
there were no windows anywhere
that the walls you built around me
were meant to always keep me there

Your love and kindness disappeared
this world just an illusion
I was never safe at all
with all my pain and confusion

I'm stuck here now forevermore
in the house you built for me
Lost in unhallowed halls
You my Satan, reigns supreme!
