You tied me down
Heartlessly removed my crown
I begged you to let me go
To end the show
You never listened
Threw me into a prison
Little did I know this was all the beginning
Crushed my ambition
Forgot all about my existence
You had one condition
Life imprisonment
I had to keep my distance
You soon became the twisted Villain
I feared you might become
I wish i'd smile
I wish i'd not think of myself as an exile
I wish i'd tell the truth
I wish i'd embrace my youth
I wish i'd be vulnerable
I wish 'I'd be more predictable
Because behind my steely eyes
A darkness arises
There's something
I am yearning
I am not nothing
Something people don't bother learning
But deep inside far in my mind
The burden I carry weighs down on my soul
Somewhere inside me, I know I will never feel whole
I will feel the guilt, hurt and headaches
But if try to erase those past mistakes
I can learn to smile
And it might take a while
But I know I can somewhere inside
Watching him from afar
Watching him smile burn brighter than a sun
His laughs echoed down the empty walls
Keeping me from having a great fall.
He is making me hold on to my sanity
Without him, I could be doing all sorts of profanities
Wanting to trail my hands through his hair
Reminds me of how I cant and the despair.
He turns around to face me with his piercing stare
I wish I could touch his face I swear
All the hopes and dreams we could share
So many words and gesture I can use to show him I care
But I can not I am too scared
Everything in my fantasy
Just sitting by myself drinking Hennessy
Bringing light to a world that only seems dark
It is not easy as you think, it is only hard
Stepping away from the shadows and embracing who we are
May sound like our personal Alcatraz
We are so set in our own paths it's difficult to look around
If we don't we will soon fade to the backgrounds.
Hoping and wishing to become someone who we are not
Only creates our doom and makes us stiff like a blood clot.
Why can't we appreciate who we are
Because we are cowards too scared to embrace the star.
My heart is aching
I am reaching
Keep on dreaming
Wondering if it is all going to be alright
You were my ride or die
Until I left you alone
Abandoned without an explanation
Like every other clone
We were the perfect equation
I ran away when things got hard
You gathered your things and went too far
Caution tape around my heart
Put you out like a cigar
One, Two, Three
I try to believe
Four, Five, Six
There is nothing left to fix
Seven, Eight, Nine
No one left to confine
Ten, Eleven, Twelve
I can never delve
I stand there naked
Nothing is protecting me anymore
I try to strip away my layers
I pull them closer to me in fear.
I look in the mirror
Scars trailing down my body
Reminders of all the battles I have lost
I am sitting there in my Audi
Reminiscing about the good times
My skin is coated in frost
No heat can ever warm me up
I am beyond repair
I am thinking of how much I ******* up
I am far worse than an affair
