Prisoner~Of~The~Past

by Roula   Jan 9, 2005


The cries of my shattered heart
The voices inside my head
The anger of my soul
The memories I can't forget

I need to brake free
From this darkened cage
Isolating me from happiness
Fulfilling me with rage

I try to break these filthy bars
While my exhausted face turns pale
My trembling hands are too weak
So I always fail

Pain runs through my veins
Poison lurks underneath my skin
Trying to reach for answers
Of the unknown sorrow within

I'm curious to know
The reasons behind my pain
I need to discover this terrifying
Horror that drives me insane

I can be easily broken
There is no pain I can endure
My life is vividly black
My dreams are cold and obsecure

I'm sorry my love, but
You've put me in an infinity of misery
I can no longer lead my own life
Without you here with me

I'm a prisoner of the past
That can't seem to escape
From the memories of your love
That's too old and out of shape

The demons inside my mind
Are driving me to suicide
I push them away with hatred
But they seem to be my only guide

Life is too precious
To deprive myself from it
But after all my endless tries,
I will finally give in and quit

My desperate, hopeless life
Will end behind these filthy bars
Love brought us together
But now it's no longer ours
