The glass prison


I. Reflection

Cunning, Baffling, Powerful
Beaten to a pulp
Vigorous, Irresistabel
Sick and tired and laid low
Dominating, Invisible
Black out, loss of control
Overwhelming, Unquenchable
I'm powerless, have to let go

I can't escape it
It leaves me frail and worn
Can no longer take it
Senses tattered and torn

Hopeless surrender
Obsession's got me beat
Losing the will to live
Admitting complete defeat

Fatal Descent
Spinning around
I've gone too far
To turn back around

Desperate attempt
Stop the progression
At any length
Lift this obsession

Crawling to my glass prison
A place where no one knows
My secret lonely world begins

So much safer here
A place where I can go
To forget about my daily sins

Life here in my glass prison
A place I once called home
Fall in nocturnal bliss again

Chasing a long lost friend
I no longer can control
Just waiting for this hopelessness to end


II. Restoration

Run fast from the wreckage of the past
A shattered glass prison far behind me
Fight past walking through the ashes
A distant oasis before me

Cry Desperate crawling on my knees
Begging God to please stop the insanity
Help me trying to believe
Stop wallowing in my self pity

We've been waiting for you my friend
The writing's been on the wall
All it takes is a little faith
You know you're the same as us all.

Help me I can't break out of this prison all alone
Save me I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own
Heal me I can't restore my sanity alone

Enter the door
Desperate
Fighting no more
Help me restore
To my sanity
At this temple of hope

I need to learn
Teach me how
Sorrow to burn
Help me return
To humanity
I'll be fearless and thorough
To enter this temple of hope

Believe
Transcend the pain
Living the life
Humility
Opened my eyes
This new odyssey
Of rigorous honesty

Serenity
I never knew
Soundness of mind
Helped me to find
Courage to change
All the things that I can

We'll help you perform this miracle
But you must set your past free
You dug this hole, but you can't bury your soul
Open your mind and you will see

Help me I can't break out this prison all alone
Save me I'm drowning and I'l hopeless on my own
Heal me I can't restore my sanity alone


III. Revelation

Way off in the distance I saw a door
I tried to open
I tried forcing with all of my will and still
The door wouldn't open

Unable to trust in my faith
I turned and walked away
I looked around, felt a chill in the air
Took my will and turned it over

The glass prison that once held me is now gone
A long lost fortress
Armed only with liberty
And the key of my willingness

Fell down on my knees and prayed
Thy will be done
I turned around, saw a light shining through
The door was wide open

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
