My mind is a prison

Where I'm caged and left to see

Those shimmering lights

That always seem to distract me



They float by my side

And seem to me like butterflies

Guiding me through my life

Yet I know they see inside



They can see the scars and tears

And the blood upon the wall

Feeling the darkness of my heart

Just before I start to fall



As much as they may try

They can never break me free

This cage was never made of steel

It's made of insanity



As my life melts away

I feel it coursing through my veins

Things I should have never done

That always brought me pain



This is all an illusion

I know none of this is real

But still I can't mistake

The way it makes me feel



If this is truly hell

Then there must be an escape

Yet all I feel that I can do

Is sit right here and wait



Heaven is an empty dream

Filled for an empty void

I am not a coward

Just another empty boy



I'm looking for a world

Where I might find my bliss

I'm searching for the one

Who can seal it with a kiss



The time has come and gone

For my happiness in life

Hanging on to all those things

That have always caused me strife



Friends are just a word

And that dream is fading fast

Looking back on fools

I try to forget my blood stained past



Mistakes I've made in life

Are always mine lest you forget

I was made by own will

And that's a mistake I'll soon correct



The future is uncertain

And my past is filled with lies

What I seek is the truth

And I know it dwells inside



Maybe I'm a bastard

And maybe that explains these tears

But the nightmares in my sleep

Explain to me my darkest fears



This is all an illusion

I know none of this is real

But still I can't mistake

The way it makes me feel



If this is truly hell

Then there must be an escape

Yet all I feel that I can do

Is sit right here and wait



Heaven is an empty dream

Filled for an empty void

I am not a coward

Just another empty boy



I'm looking for a world

Where I might find my bliss

I'm searching for the one

Who can seal it with a kiss



Can you see the demons

As they tear throughout my soul

Can you feel the hatred

That in me has grown so cold



I may scream in terror

But my body slips away

And there seem to be no angels

Waiting for my soul today



I am possessed by the blood

Of the damned souls of hell

This is my salvation

And the story I must tell



I wither fast into the ocean

Of my mind, now I'm alone

Never finding my way here

I'm always searching for a home



I must be a mere vessel

Because I'm unwelcome every place

I feel as though they look at me

And see the devil's face



This is all an illusion

I know none of this is real

But still I can't mistake

The way it makes me feel



If this is truly hell

Then there must be an escape

Yet all I feel that I can do

Is sit right here and wait



Heaven is an empty dream

Filled for an empty void

I am not a coward

Just another empty boy



I'm looking for a world

Where I might find my bliss

I'm searching for the one

Who can seal it with a kiss
