Strip away these pains I feel
They are nothing more than unending torture
Wrap me up in a blanket of steel
That I might absorb your strength and power
Clip away my freedom wings
That I might not fall each time I fly
Cast away this emptiness
That I might not dwell on my loneliness
Rip away my heart
That I might not feel it crumble and break
And hold close my soul
That I might not watch as my light fades beyond control.

Strip away these pains I feel
They are nothing more than unending torture
Wrap me up in a blanket of steel
That I might absorb your strength and power
Clip away my freedom wings
That I might not fall each time I fly
Cast away this emptiness
That I might not dwell on my loneliness
Rip away my heart
That I might not feel it crumble and break
And hold close my soul
That I might not watch as my light fades beyond control.
