No Way Out

Locked behind these prison bars 
Hiding all these deep painful scars 
Alone with my heartbroken fraternity 
Sentenced to serve time for all eternity 

Daydreaming of forever breaking free 
Lusting for love, a heartbeat, for me 
Cold, this bed, this floor, this breath 
Without you, my love, what is left? 

Hiding behind lies, not guilty disguise 
Raining burning tears behind these eyes 
Forgiveness comes too little to late 
Handcuffed, soul starved, to die with fate 

The story's written, dripping down on the page 
Shelter me from this storm, unholy is this rage 
Only one way out, of body, from behind bars. 
Tasting the freedom released from these scars.
