Cold days and rainy nights
So many battles, So many lost fights
Rivers of blue and oceans of red
Times I believed I'd be better off dead
Never thought it would end
Never thought I'd be free
From the pain and the sadness
Built up inside me
Though my past, like my present,
Forever part of my life
I won't let it clip my wings
But rather fuel my flight

Shattered Mirror
Broken Glass
Thousands of People
Walking right Past
Nobody Notices
Nobody Asks
Just another pile
Of Worn Out
Useless Trash

Empty inside
Smiling out
Trying not to listen
As voices shout

Burns and bruises
Matches and flames
Cuts and Razors
Scars and Bloodstains

How'd that get there
It's only a scratch
A mere paper cut
It was just the cat

Maybe they're gullible
Or they just don't care
Either way doesn't matter
To unanswered prayer

Say goodbye to freedom from restriction
Say hello to these walls, Cause we're boxed in
Hear the voices inside
As they're screamin'
Put your own needs aside
It's time we begin

You've been waiting for miracles
He's been wishing on stars
She's been dreaming of rainbows
I've been counting these scars

If everyone gave up
We would go just as far
Stopping now could be easy
Moving forward is hard
So stay in your corner
Locked inside you're own head
Keep on waiting,
Keep on wishing,
Keep on dreaming,
Until you're dead.

You're screaming
But they'll never hear
You're crying
Conquered by fear
Now you're bleeding
And they couldn't care less
As you fade into this mess
Pleading please, please not today
But there's nothing you can say.
Because now you're on your own,
Oh so far away from home,
Forever all alone.
