I want so badly to blaim those around me,

But I am the one who bruises my skin,

I wish and I hope and I pray to be set free,

From this mind and body I am trapped in,

Alas freedom does not come without a price,

I can feel everything or I can feel nothing,

Either choice is truly a fools paradise,

These people just keep on looking and judging,

I wonder - will they ever know my mind,

Will they ever know how it feels to be trapped inside...
