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
