Finally I'm Free


Everyday I live, everyday I love,

Everyday I laugh, and everyday I...

No, this is just what I show the world.

I show the world joy and happiness.

But in reality,

Everyday I'm hiding that monster in my mind.

I keep him from sight of prying eyes.

Away from sight of my friends and family.

 

What should I do?

Should I keep him hidden?

Should I shield others from his fury?

Should I lock him in the cage of my mind?

Or do I let him loose?

Let loose his fury loose onto the world?

Let him destroy while my conciousness,

quivering in fear, remains shrouded in darkness.

 

I always hold this fear in my heart.

The fear that others will die.

They will die because I couldn't stop him,

Couldn't keep him contained

In the farthest corners of my mind.

But each day he grows stronger,

He grows so close to taking over, 

Closer to making me cause chaos and take lives.

 

But now, my friend, 

I'm begging you for help.

Help me, please.

Tell me what should I do 

What should I do?

What should I do?

What should I... oh no...

No... NO!

......

 

Finally, I'm free...
