Boomerang

I am shackled to my front door 
My definition of freedom is foregin 
I am cold 

Cold is my dying dreamer
Cold is my burning rage
Cold is a sledgehammer

It gives and it takes

Silence is my voice 
Tired is my body 
Death is me

For a love i have lost 
The burden carrying back broken

For a dream that i killed
Temptation is golden 

The steps to my hell 
Lead to a door 
The door that knows my many faces 

The boomerang that breaks me.
