You have seen how my tears they flow 
I try and try to explain with nothing to show
You are as dark and cold as the winter chill 
with each day my spirit you break to kill 

This place so far far away from home 
I am a prisoner isolated and alone 
Don't know what is right or wrong 
my brain twisted until I am gone 

Pain with every breath I take 
hands tied as a smile I fake 
Everyday the cage is closing in
bleeding and raw nothing left within 

As you fake love for eyes watching 
alone you turn me into nothing 
No one here has seen the real me 
quiet, timid, that is all they see

Afraid to speak for fear of you
there is no getting through 
this fear you've placed in me 
that I am exactly what you see 

Soon I will fade away and die 
no strength in me to try 
to be free
to be me
