About This Song:
[Lyrics]
I stand before you
Merely nothing
Stripped down to my very soul
I've left behind my inhibitions
Left my joy back at the door
I'm ready for the consequences
So can the sessions now begin?
They told me that I wasn't right
And only you would let me in
A pile of discarded wishes
Sits upon their cold stone floor
My broken wings now lay before you
They couldn't handle any more
The weight they made me carry on my shoulders
Along with all their sin
Has shut out all that lived in me,
Just my pain resides within
And here I am
They won't let me be
They told me I was broken,
'Cause they couldn't find the key
Into my inner workings
Even though they killed it all
So they want to send me up here
Just to see how far I'll fall
Can you tell me what's been eating me?
I didn't think there was
Anything still left inside me
That had been there all along
Because most of what I deal with
Wasn't there when I began
And now it's only from their bullshit
That I became sleight of hand
Can you tell me why I tremble?
Why these tears run down my face?
Will you tell me that I'm okay
And that I'm not just a disgrace?
I can feel the pulse within me
It's an icy, frigid cold
'Cause they kept me isolated
With a knife that I could hold
And all they said was "See what happens"
Before they just walked away
And when I didn't break the skin
They said that they'd send me your way
And here I am
They won't let me be
They told me I was broken,
'Cause they couldn't find the key
Into my inner workings
Even though they killed it all
So they want to send me up here
Just to see how far I'll fall
Can you tell me where the exit is
I think I might be cured
'Cause it's like I'm having feelings
Even though that sounds absurd
Because I walked in here with nothing
Now, consuming me is rage
Towards the people that abandoned me
Until I broke my cage
But I can swear that I'm not angry
I'm as calm as calm can be
In fact I think I'm feeling happy
So would you set me free?

This was meant to be a story in the vein of The Unforgiven by Metallica, with some inspiration from Alice in Chains, and Pink Floyd's The Wall injected for whatever reason. It's not based on any real experiences or personal feelings. I'm so glad I don't write lyrics like this anymore. :P
