You hold me captured.
Chained, I stare at iron bars.
Why do I laugh
When I don't have a reason?
Insane, I lose control.
Who is that girl
Tearing at her frozen soul?
She's me, but I don't know her.
I tried to save her life,
But she refused.
I am dead, yet I am alive.
I am captured,
Enslaved by your rules.
Whenever I set myself free,
You tighten the laws.
I am kidnapped,
And I cannot be set free.
