why keep safe distance, when what you desire is so close
why burn the single pages, when you can just burn the book
and why sing one note, when there's a choir around you
however more intelligent i am
however loud i sing, they were never satisfied
all these years i've struggled to get through
with feelings hidden i wait for freedom
my imaginary pen etched eternal things on the walls of this prison
so unclear they will never find the real me
they refused to listen, so i refuse to release the inner beings within me
so please invisible ink... carry me away

i've begged for change inside these prison walls
confronted by false dreams, my high hopes were crushed
when i was young i had dreams
as i grew those dreams just faded away
i realized they did not exist
i was living a lie... they've bcome what they've always feared
you say they taught me wrong but they told me right
i no longer can tell wrong from right
maybe i need new teachings but what if teachers
were telling us lies all this time?

the stronger one inside of me won't say a single word
no one said it would be easy to just let go
and never go back again
i fell for the same old tricks again
help me through this...
jesus have mercy on me.
