Hold on to this,

No making a wish

Will ever fix this,

This isn't a gift

.

It's more a curse

Drug from a hearse,

I'm not the first,

I'm not the worst

.

Should I just let it all fade away?

I can't just forget, I'll fade away

This living in regret won't just go away

Captive I can't forget those days of gray

.

Where's the good intention

In this lost prevention

If there's no direction

In this puzzled reflection

.

Home's no longer home,

Rooms empty and alone,

Every shadow's my own;

Nothingness wins the throne

.

They say the silence can drive you insane

How does the silence cause this deafening pain?

They say once reliant you'll follow the grain.

It's too damn silent my sanity can't remain

.

Still there's no comfort

In constant wasted effort,

Hoping I'll be triumphant

In escaping this discomfort

.

I'll escape these bars,

I'll remember these scars,

Mend this broken heart;
