Holding Cell
I've been living in a nightmare world Trapped inside my holding cell Gotta smile so the world can't tell Is this real Tired of living like I'm second rate Tired of looking for the hand of fate The years just take And then they slip away Tired of wondering if I'm good enough Or being told I need to toughen up Swimming even though the water's rough I don't need compliments or lies to bring me up Sacrifice every part of me To the gods I cannot see Like I'm living in a memory Is this just a dream— I've been living in a nightmarе world Trapped inside my holding cell Gotta smilе so the world can't tell Is this real because it feels like hell Time for me to put the past behind This old sadness doesn't age like wine The years go by And we run out of time Not gonna make apologies Or give a self-indulgent speech I know that I did right by me Just be real with me And leave me be Sacrifice every part of me To the gods I cannot see Like I'm living in a memory Is this just a dream— I've been living in a nightmare world Trapped inside my holding cell Gotta smile so the world can't tell Is this real because it feels like hell (Feels like hell) Feels like hell (Feels like hell) Feels like hell (Feels like hell) If you love me unconditionally You won't spend your time judging me I said, I know I did right by me And life's too brief To make apologies Sacrifice every part of me To the gods I cannot see Like I'm living in a memory Is this just a dream— I've been living in a nightmare world Trapped inside my holding cell Gotta smile so the world can't tell Is this real because it feels like hell

I waited for your call to bring me Back to the aching light Wandering with wool pulled over my eyes Still searching for a sign Break the peace for amnesty Drawn into what’s hunting me Bring me back to the circle of love Your candle shining in my heart Shadows are closing in around me Come set me free I walked for miles through the forest Just looking for the end My senses dulled by all around me Lost in the dark again Break my soul for self-control Cyclical, I’m never whole Bring me back to the circle of love Your candle shining in my heart Shadows are closing in around me Come set me free Through the night, we are burning Feel your light, bring me to your love Bring me back to the circle of love Your candle shining in my heart Shadows are closing in around me Come set me free

I broke through to the other side A part of myself too scared to hide The light which shone and made us blind A star collapsing from inside Pain is only part of the change As our souls begin to rearrange See yourself like I do Beautiful scars are part of you See your flaws and embrace them ‘Cause you are perfect how you are And you are worthy of love Look in the mirror, see the good inside (See the good inside) We have faced mountains, yet still we climb When despair bеckons, we say “no, not this time” We’rе more than shadows, we’re alive See yourself like I do Beautiful scars are part of you See your flaws and embrace them ‘Cause you are perfect how you are And you are worthy of love

Step a little closer to me Mm, it’s getting harder to breathe Pulse digging deep in my mind If I held your heart, what would I find The night belongs to me Conduct this symphony Your fear and ecstasy Fill up my blackened heart With your sweet melody Do you find your eyes to deceive Confusing lights with sanctuary But the monsters you should most fear Often are the ones you hold most dear The night belongs to me Conduct this symphony Your fear and ecstasy Fill up my blackened heart With your sweet melody Do you find mе beautiful Do you find me whimsical As the world turns upsidе down Do you see what lurks in the crowd The night belongs to me Conduct this symphony Your fear and ecstasy Fill up my blackened heart With your sweet melody

You have a burning coal That’s tearing through your broken heart The pages smoke and curl What binds you crumbles, and falls apart Stay, this will all soon pass away Like an ember fades to gray You will don the shroud of faith Leave all your memories Rise and accept your fate You are my effigy My haunted hollow, my heresy Casting these bones on stone I read the signs of destiny Stay, this will all soon pass away Like an ember fades to gray You will don the shroud of faith Leave all your memories Rise and accеpt your fate Stay, this will all soon pass away Like an embеr fades to gray You will don the shroud of faith Leave all your memories Rise and accept your fate

Why do you build me up only to tear me down? Was I not good enough to wear your golden crown? High, too high, atop your tower of stone High, too high, so now I feel alone Why do you hate me? Why can't you let me go? I'm chasing every dream where you cannot follow Why do your lips sing praise while your throat screams neglect? Am I your goddess or am I degenerate? Drowning, I'm drowning in your ocean eyes Drowning, I'm drowning, trapped beneath your lies Hate me. Why can't you let me go? I'm chasing every dream whеre you cannot follow Why won't you leave mе where I can wield sorrow? I want to face the unknown, to face it on my own Drowning, I'm drowning Drowning, I'm drowning Drowning, I'm drowning Hate me. Why can't you let me go? I'm chasing every dream where you cannot follow Why won't you leave me where I can wield sorrow? I want to face the unknown, to face it on my own
