I’m stuck in a bad dream
I send out my shattered screams
But the sound just reverberates inside hollow walls
My thoughts sent out into the dark
But can only reflect in the light
Somebody once said
That not all that shines
Is bright, damn I hope they were right

All the battles I’ve been through
Seems I’ve got so many more to fight
Damn, just want to make it through the night

Stuck in a solitary setting
Pondering questions I know I can’t answer
Till I’m bashing myself to sleep

People have this sense of me
Like I’m a wolf in sheep’s skin
But I feel more often then not
Like a sheep locked up in a wolf pen

I’d love to just give in
Live this lie

But I know
I know
I don’t know why

Does the trigger on the gun think twice?
Before it strikes the pin?

Were we all wounded to begin?

I’d like to show you
Where I die
In my mind

What do you think you will find?
You say that your holly, great
I say that you’ve sprinkled lies
To make the image look better
Yet

Is it better now?
That you know how
I fall

Inside my soul
I find that there is nothing
Left to find
