Captured

Captured Sometimes I close my eyes so I can't see Sometimes I feel so close So trapped I can't breathe Just want to be by myself Just set me free Just let me be Release me You've got me in this cocoon that I can't pry open So I scratch and I punch and I pull at it till my fingers bleed You've trapped me in this box where I can't breathe So I yell and I fight till the box fills with my screams Just let me be Just set me free Release me You've got me in this world Where my head is spinning It's spinning so quick That I can't see You've got me feeling clostaphobic Now let me go before I panic Shut up so I don't go insane Shut up so I don't go insane Sometimes I close my eyes so I can't see Sometimes I feel so close so trapped I can't breathe I just want to be by myself Just set me free Just let me be Release me Why do you torment me for your pleasure Keep me in this cage so I don't run Why do you treat me like a prisoner Do you do this all for fun Just let me be Just set me free Release me
