I need to redeem myself Need to release my tortured mind You know this wasn't my choice The words are mine in another man's voice Darkness came down upon me Sickness tore right through me Pressure, the depth of that misery Felt just like suffocation You can look anywhere for answers I looked for too many answers in you This fool thought it lasted forever Trying so hard not to witness the truth Lost to supplication Forever beyond the pale Tribulation, sorrow and pain Burning deep within my veins All we have is ourselves now and we are alone All we hear is the silence, the empty unknown We kept turning the key but this wasn't our home Looking up at the skies when the follows had flown This is not me This is not my voice You look at me with tears in your eyes Believe me now This was not my choice Wait long enough and everything dies Love lost and found And lost and found Moving forward then turned around Feeling alive then feeling alone in this garden of thorns and neglect Gaining our strength and losing ground I need to redeem myself Need to release my mind from this I will live on in hope of something better than this Until I breathe my dying breath
