Pitch Black Wings

about

There's a wall around my city, and a wall around my heart. You have no idea how I long to be free.

lyrics

It's written clear across my face - I don't deserve to be alive
Yet no-one here - seems to notice it all.
I can make you all believe
That I'm a good person
but I can't erase the dark that hides inside my mind.

Why am I never forgiven?
Why can't I escape my mind?
These high stone walls feel like a prison..
Wish my wings could set me free.

Why am I never forgiven?
Why can't I escape my mind?
These high stone walls feel like a prison..
Wish my wings could set me free.

All that I've ever I done for you is
selfish and hollow - though it's true
I wish I could be
better than I am
I'm a leech, a hypocrite, an undeserving waste of skin
who wants so badly...
to replace all of me.

Why am I never forgiven?
Why can't I escape my mind?
These high stone walls feel like a prison..
Wish my wings could set me free.

Why am I never forgiven?
Why can't I escape my mind?
These high stone walls feel like a prison..
Wish my wings could set me free.


Everyone I love always
abandons me
Nothing I believe in is ever
reality
I'm so tired of this life
of all the troubles, pain and strife
and so my heart has hardened like a stone.

Why am I never forgiven?
Why can't I escape my mind?
These high stone walls are like a prison..
Wish my wings could set me free.

Why am I never forgiven?
Why can't I escape my mind?
These high stone walls are like a prison..
Wish my wings could set me free.
