Tell Me

by Jemma   Jun 4, 2006


Got caught while I was spinning the wheels
So much freedom, wish I knew how that feels
Feel your eyes as they burn through me once again
How can just eye contact put me through this pain?

I used to dream; I used to hope, figured I would lead a normal human life
But got stuck in your mind games and I've become your pawn
I've lost everything and my world is going still
Scattered in the dusty roads are the piece of the heart you've torn

Tell me, do you think of me?
The one you left to die
The one you left so cold
Staring at the starless sky

Tell me, do you regret what you did to me?
Would you do it again?
Would you put me through this pain again?

It's strange, hearing no sound
Just the rhythm of the night
Then someone screaming as I burn in the endless light

Blood kept pouring not that you would've cared
You'd have struck me yourselves if you would've dared

Tell me, do you think of me?
The one you left to die
The one you left so cold
Staring at the starless sky

Tell me, do you regret me to have survived?
Do you resent me living my damned human life?
Tell me; are your eyes still red inside?
Tell me, if I search for you will try to hide?

It's gonna come, the end to all this pain
And just as soon, yeah, you'll do it all again

Got caught while I was spinning the wheels
Oh for true freedom, need to know how that feels
Eyes of scorn burn through my back
Well try your best I ain't coming back

The axles glisten as the lines catch the moon
The faint hum joining the song that night time sings
A whispered sigh behind me purrs
Come on, enlighten me, what troubles can you bring?

There is nothing you can steal; I have nothing left to feel
You've destroyed my life, left my heart just one big hole
Yet you dare to come and look at me
What joy for you that must be
Just to see the fear that you engraved
To see what love you have depraved

Manipulated through your nets
You'd think I'd come, think I'd forget?

Tie her up; leave her for dead
Believe it's not me that you're leaving on the bed
I swear that you will never find me again
I won't let you do it all to me once again
Go on hit, harder please, just give it a try
See, she does not cry, she's just waiting to die
Lethal strokes, but she has a smile upon her face
It ain't me dying in disgrace

I'm gone and the shadows lift, am I bathed in light?
But no, I'm just stood beneath a star filled night
Just lying as I watch the heavens streaming up in front of me
Billions of years to watch the starlight merrily

Alone, wouldn't have it any other way
There's no one that I could trust with me to stay
So now here I am, no more lies to weave
Tell me, is this how freedom feels?
