What cause have I to feel glad?
I've built my life on judgement and causingpain
I don't know those eyes I see in thebloodstained chrome
Now everything that I've had
And everything I've known have been thrown away
And with time, I've come to find this isn't myhome
I've stoked the fire
Seen more pain than you can know
The tears of the broken have washed away mysoul
Pushed by desire
To change the way my stream will flow
Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control
I try my best to block out the screams
But they're haunting me in my dreams
Please, break my shackles, I want it to stop
I man these wretched machines
Day in, day out, the grinding wears on mybrain
Undermining my sanity, making me question myreality
But life is not as it seems
Should I take a chance for freedom and throwit all down the drain?
I've been imprisoned, please burn mytransgressions away
I've stoked the fire
Seen more pain than you can know
The tears of the broken have washed away mysoul
Pushed by desire
To change the way my stream will flow
Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control
I'm sick of hurting
Sick of thinking it's all I do
I break those around me, those spared are veryfew
But the bright sun is burning
And my sky shines, ever blue
Friendships surround me; I'm becoming a part of you
I try my best to block out the screams
But they're haunting me in my dreams
Please, break my shackles, I want it to stop
