You took away my voice,
you took away my sound.
I can’t sing, there’s no song in my heart,
and it used to play so loud.
Circles around nothing,
walls around who I used to be,
sheltered and locked away
is the happy and unburdened me.
I can’t think for you,
or tell you what to do,
because every time I come close,
you just deny the truth.
How can’t you see
all that you’ve taken away;
who I used to be and who I am now
has changed like night and day.
I’m tired of being restrained,
held back and kept in the dark.
You’ve done enough damage now,
you’ve left a deep enough mark.
I’ll accept that nothing is perfect,
that to me has been made clear,
but I’m not sure how long I can last
in a place as shattered as here.
