Dead Man's Plea

I want to be set free
I'm locked away without a key
I want someone to come rescue me
From the prison of my own insanity
 
I want to be set free
Give me back my dignity
Do I have to let go or take my life away
Out of black and into grey
 
I want to be set free
Where is my identity
Where do I go 
to find my lost soul?

I want to be set free
Looking hard for serenity
I'm sure its right here in plain view
If only I could  stop from loving you

Sad. I work with kids, some of whom are suicidal. There are still a lot of unsolved mysteries on the functioning of the human mind. Vince
