I Look Outside
I look outside
I look outside, but all I see,
Is a beautiful prison, enclosing me
I try to scream, to move, to flee!
But despite my efforts, I can’t brake free.
Now what can I say, to mend the hurt?
To clean the slate, to wash of the dirt?
What will it take, for me to revert?
The state you’re in, so pale, so inert?
I didn’t want this, my intentions where good!
Why am I always misunderstood!
It seems like moments ago, right there we stood!
If I had known the results, I never would…
Have raised my hand, or plunged the knife
Into your soul, taking your life
This must end, this mortal strife,
Before we both, go mad with rife
That’s it! That’s enough! You’ve gone too far,
You’ve just reopened the wrong scar!
I’d rather be burnt by a million stars,
Then stay with you, the way you are.
The chains have broke, I’ve escaped the cast
But now I’m cold and falling fast,
The sensation is wonderful, unsurpassed,
But now I’m lost, it’s far too vast.
There must be crack, a hole, a way out!
I’m suffocating, drowned in doubt,
I try to breath, to go without
But still the whispers, drown my shouts.
