| Lost Inside My Heart |
| With bare feet, I walk the cold hard floors, My fingertips tracing the dark stone walls I've built around my heart For so many valid reasons I built this fortress for protection And yet I find myself enslaved as if in a prison Oh to feel the warmth of the sun in here To find the way, the spiral stair case that winds up and out into the light It's been so long now that I don't know if I can find my way back These walls are haunted with echoes in time, Dreams abandoned and hope lost The ghosts in here are losing their power over me But they're still here Forever I' reminded of what once was and what could never be How I have prayed for someone to find me here In every tragic love story, the white knight over comes The most insurmountable odds to find his captive princess No walls too high, or fortress too great It will take power beyond imagination to reach me now Silly faery tales all I just keep walking in the damp dark recesses of my soul Where the the light of love has never truly shined Where I have kept my true source hidden Where I once felt solace and safety I have tried with all the power I could muster To make these walls impenetrable And now it is with that very same power That I so desire to break free I resolve myself to lay down in the dark Too proud to shed a single tear Still full of hope even though it seems futile I say "silly faery tales" but truth be told, there is a part of me that dreams of just that I dream that just outside, searching in the mists is my very own white knight Searching ever hopeful to find me Working to find the way in All the while hoping he'll find me and set me free Just once, let it not be a dream. |
