I can’t remember the taste
Of the sweet summer’s air, or the feeling of wind on my skin
Tortured and cold, I stay locked in this room, drowning in my sin
Do you remember?
Do you recall the times when we smiled—if they existed at all?
Now darkness looms over my shoulder, a wretched remnant of a time long gone
I stand forgotten, in the sands of time
I stand here rotting, in this fog of death
Wishes betrayed, I curse the fetters of time that chain me down
Decaying dolls whisper in the madness of night
“There must be something better”
I hear their words, their sweet whispers of love and of hope
Would that exist for me? Would I ever be able to find a new reason to live?
I reach my hand out, hoping to grasp a new dream (to grasp a new dream)
If I could leave this place, in a blink I’d be gone (to see a new scene)
Lay your hands on me
Open my heart and let me feel what it means to live again
As I wither away under my sins
“There is no escape, there is no chance at a better life”
That’s what you told me
“So fight all you want, in the end you’ll be back in this cage”
I am a monster
I am a beast
And no one in this world will ever love me
My search continues, dirt under my nails and blood on my cheeks
A place without worry, is it so wrong for that to be all I seek?
I am a monster, never to find peace in this wretched world
But yet I keep on searching, because hope is all that is left to me
I reach my hand out, hoping to grasp a new me (to grasp a new dream)
If I could leave this place, in a flash I’d be gone (to see a new scene)
Lay your hands on me
Open my heart and let me feel what it means to live again
As I wither away under my sins
This sorrow blinds me, it stabs into my heart again and again
I cannot find my way out of this blackness
And life goes on, ignoring my cries for safety (my cries for someone)
And life goes on, and life goes on
