| The Box |
| Life is hard, I tried to escape From the problems that I faced I tried to hide inside my own mind Created a world of my own A place that was good, a place that I could Call Home I ran away from my problems everyday And never thought it would come to this I thought I controlled my fantasy But now I'm afraid it controls me Now I'm trapped in the snares that I've created I've become so totally jaded And my life has slowly faded away Into the darkness I feel so hunted, like the red fox I feel so hunted... trapped in the Box These things they caught me unaware My dreams weren't dreams, but instead nightmares With no way out, I began to doubt The decision that I made I tried to hide, but now I've lost the light I can't tell what's wrong or what's right anymore I tried to come back, to break out of this cell But I can't escape my Personal Hell I'm trapped inside my self-made prison With no key, no bars and no locks With no parole at all... I'm trapped in the Box I don't know if I can bear this pain Now that I've gone insane There's no light on in my brain And I don't think I'll ever be the same I feel the walls, they're closing in Crushing my will to live I thought that by running I'd get by But now I'm lucky if I survive I stare blankly at what's ahead Only seeing the illusions I've created Not believing that I have traded My life for a world of ruin and dread The darkness is all I see anymore I am trapped forever I struggle so hard to break free from my mind But it's a useless endeavor This box has become steel and I can no longer deal With the pain, the anger, the strife My world has become almost too real I cannot deal with this life I can't see you at my door, nor can I hear your knocks Because I'm totally devoured by this Box Devoured by the Box And now, my friend, we won't meet again This is the end of my song Good-bye, farewell, so long |
