describes the war being waged in the heart and the mind, and the freedom thats longed for.
Surface the tears which are hidden beneath
the pain caused for years I no longer can keep.

Flow from your prison no longer bondaged
or caged, for the chains has been risen since
my patience have aged.

So crumble the world that I thought
was the truth, and uproot the image
I believe is a clue.

To deliever myself from a dungeon
of lies, where dreams have been
crushed and then drenched in cries.

Im trapped in a moment that
I wish would just past, cause
victory is an omen that slips through
my grasp.

The scars of my life
are like visions of war.
Reluctant I would fight with
the might that I bore.

Im nearing my limit
which I thought had no end
ever doubtful each minute
is why the questions begin.

My mind formed a mazed
with my heart placed on trial,
with fear center stage in all
the power it desired.

Emotions that once slept
now ravage my soul. Since time
has been torn only guilt makes
me whole.

Im forced to my knees
by a war with no end.
Monotonous and cruel
is my battle within.
