bound in chains

somewhere somehow somebody roams free without restrictions

but i'm not that person and it'll never be me

because i'm trapped in my box afraid to see the light of day



i close my eyes in hopes that i wake up to a brighter day

but the light won't leak through the walls

and i hope i never wake up this time

my eyes are sealed shut just like my heart and mind



i've ruined my own name

you just don't know me, do you?

you never expected this would happen

you never dreamed your nightmare would come true

hope you see me though another light this time



you've no clue what lies on the inside

i'm just a piece of meat to you

i'm almost old enough to march down the line

and so i hide deep inside



i hope the walls cave in this time, leave me breathless

trying to crawl out of this mess i've made

i wish there wasn't a way to escape

please bring the whip down again

please bring my life out again



is there a way?

could there be some way around this?

all the obstacles of life that i’ve set

blocking my way to the other side

ten years in the future

this will just be a passing thought in my mind

i hope i forget it



i'm not normal and neither is the world

if there is a god, we'd all be in hell and not just me

so i hide deeper and deeper in my hole

this big black hole with no way out but to put the dirt back in
