For Me

My body is shaking
Inside I'm suffercating
Something's clawing
Ripping, shredding, screaming
To get out
I must keep
For the lives of the people will suffer
And then I'll be an empty shell
No life, no hope
I won't let it out
I won't let it go
I must keep it in
So that I can live chained
I'll never be free
So forever I'll be chained
Forever my soul be tortured
Because there is not life, no hope
For me

Karah, we have to see this cup half filled rather than half empty. Cheers.
