A storm has crashed through my heart
That blows away all the good feelings
In my soul
It's long gone but it's left its mark
Now all i can hear is the echoes of my mistakes
Taunting me, mocking me with cruel laughter

I'm always engulfed in swirling darkness
Can't find the light
I wanna make all this change
I wanna put an end to it tonight
But nothing can save me

Cuz it's too late
I've been pushed into the deep abyss
Nobody tried to pull me out of it
Cuz they don't even know I'm in there
Now it's too late

No one has offered a helping hand
Or made an attempt to help mend
The broken spirit that resides in my body
Cuz no one sees through the joyless smile
Nobody sees the pain in my eyes
I wish more than anything that I could just stop the lies

I wanna tell them how I feel
Tell them about the pain that is oh so real
But something is blocking my efforts
Something won't let me say a word
Forcing me to pretend I'm happy with life
Like iron bars restricting my every move
Keep on forcing me back into the darkness

I'm alive but I'm not living
Instead I'm swimming in a lake of misery
Drowning in the all-consuming pain
Inside of me
Nobody can help me
Nobody can save me
I scream myself hoarse, pleading for help
But I cannot make a peep

Cuz these prison bars, they hold me back
These prison bars are me
