Behind the Wall

Welcome to my sanctum here The only place I can call home A place I love to retreat to Whenever I need to feel alone Allow me to share why I am here And not by you at all times I have grown weary of this world And all of humanity's crimes Watch, my friend, and you will see My nightmare is reality Locked inside this world, a cage And all my cellmates cause me rage Behind the wall I am me Behind the wall And that's all I can be Trust me when I say this now I'm not to be trusted here My mind's a shell of what once was No longer turning are these gears Solitude is my drug And reality is when I crash I feel their gaze upon my back And feel them burning me to ash No more will I fight this fight Propelling me through endless night I've got this far all on my own And I'd sooner die alone Behind the wall I am me Behind the wall That's all I'll ever be Behind this wall Take me, creeping death! Moon is shining strong Finally growing restless now It seems it's all a game One that can't be lost Fear of moving on Warmth inside the sweet embrace That I now shall shun No matter what the cost
