Struggle to Break Free

Struggle to Break Free
 
My world has faded and turned to black
My heart can’t make up for all yours lacks
 
You’re like a battleship ready for attack
In your favour the cards seem stacked
 
Let me go from those long cold winter days
It seems to me you’ll never change your ways
 
Free me from the spider’s web I am trapped within
Breathe new life into me and allow me to begin
 
Where are you in my darkest hour of need?
How much blood do my veins have to bleed?
 
I planted a garden of flowers in the rain
Witnessed my dreams go down the drain
 
You manage suffocate my very existence
And you do it with such fine persistence
 
My aching heart has bled just for you
But your jaded heart just can’t be true
 
I feel trapped inside of my own hell
My ashes lie where the pieces fell
 
Sometimes think you’re the devil in disguise
Swore I wouldn’t make the same mistake twice
 
Feels just like I’m sinking in quicksand
And you won’t even lend me a hand
 
Hopelessly lost on an endless sea of despair
It’s become obvious that you no longer care
 
Your words are weapons just like knives
Makes me wonder how my spirit survives
 
It’s like your chains surround me whole
While you’re throwing daggers into my soul
 
Feel like I am sinking just like a stone
At least my heart still has a home
 
This is how my life with you seems to be
All I can do is to struggle to break free
