Stare at my face, beauty's only skin deep
My eyes will not tell of the secrets i keep
Take a knife to my heart and watch the pain seep
Let your face haunt each dream, there's no rest in my sleep
Reality now seems much further away
images in my head will not cease to play
As i struggle to make it through every new day
The agony of living will not go away
When i scream from within the sound is so small
No-one is there to respond to my call
So i wonder, is freedom the key after all
Or merely a bird which soars and then falls.
