Gripping so close i have no breathe in my lungs
bind my hands and my mind pretend nothings wrong
in the night i will fight but there is no dawn
I will strive with the hope to regain what was lost long ago
but these chains i feel lock all that i know
but the choice is made by what i let go
did i form this nightmare why do i continue taking all this time to lose it all
this could be my last chance can i run through a fire this windows quickly closing will i be trapped in
i remember the days when the people would meet in the street
they would talk of war they would talk of peace now this house is in flames am i too blame
tell me where did everybody go tell me why would everybody go
Did i form this nightmare why do i continue taking all this time to lose it all
i can see this ending this room is swiftly burning falling to the ocean swept away
did i form this nightmare why do i continue taking all this time to lose it all
this could be my last chance can i run through a fire this windows quickly closing will i be trapped in
tell me where did everybody go tell me why would everybody go
