Where has the hope gone? Where is the happiness?
Left behind when I was gone, and I want to be back with them.
Their names begin to fade, their faces start to fade,
The memories are lost like my tears…
How I dream, how I hope,
How I wish this prison is not my home,
But it is.
I need an open mind if I am to survive
The hate that surrounds me, engulfs me.
It pains me to see my best friend die, to see someone driven
To such extremes, but now I see I am being driven too.
How I dream, how I hope,
How I wish this prison is not my home,
But it seems to be.
Seeing myself fall to the ground, seeing my life suspended on a thread.
Seeing the thread cut short, see me fall apart.
I thought you promised I'd be safe, you promised this would help me
You promised all would soon be fine. I don't blame you for what happened.
But now I'm reaching out for you, the man within is reaching out for you.
Please come and take all this pain away, it hurts so much.
Please come and release me, because I'm in so much pain.
I sit and hide away, these walls are closing in.
Oh my God where have you gone? Why have you left me here?
I bleed myself to survive and now
I don't know what is home to me anymore
But now I know this prison is not my home.
I know this prison is not my home,
But it seems to be.

Hello my king
Can you even remember my name?
Carved in the wood of the door to my room
Where I sit waiting, following rules.
A demon of sorts on my shoulder would say
Escape is impossible and I should stay.
You say I have options yet you give me none.
A winner, a sinner, we all have to run with you.
Don't come and search for me. I've left to find my own way.
Don't be waiting at my door, I won't come.
All the anguish, all of the terrible lies will be the death of me.
Watch me run away. In time you'll see
This is why I have to leave.
Only fools could stay in here
Waiting for angels to carry us away.
And wipe all the blood and the sweat from our beds.
Give us a new life carved from the lies in our heads.
Don't wait here.
I don't want to know what it means to be alone.
Don't come and search for me,
Don't wait at my door. I'm gone.
Come come my child, why all the fuss?
Surely now enough is enough.
We're tired of your screams and are tired of the fight.
Screaming so hard, and tears through the night.
I want you to know that you're never alone
I know what you fear but I'm here
& I'll guide you home tonight. You must understand
Your life and your path are not set in stone.
Help me. A voice in my head wants to help me
& I can't help but feel I must take this way out.
Try to be me, all I want to be
Don't let them back don't let them hurt you.
Don't let your heart crack, I wont let them hurt you.
Don't be the monster they want you to be, don't be scared to live.
Be hopeful my dear. Soon you and I will be running free.

I'm lying here tonight waiting for my mind to
Catch up with my heart and see the wreckage that I've done in here.
This scene is incomplete, I find it beautifully tragic
And I know you'll agree but won't understand.
All my fears disappear
Turning to anticipation
As the feeling's flooding through you,
A chance to be free again.
Stains that never wash away
From broken barriers held by dreams,
And I'm alone here cursing and loving your name.
And I don't know.
I'm just a terrified anaemic, nothing's wrong but nothing's right
As I wake up staring at the memories of the fight.
Blinded by a great elation, such a flow of ecstasy.
When nothing's going right understand how it helps me.
Blue and yellow skin, so broken.
I won't ever feel this hopeless.
Coloured water makes me better.
Bruises start to turn back all the shame.
