I am trapped
Trapped, where I do not want to be
threats of heartbreak everywhere
Only my heart knows my true fear
somehow these four walls I am trapped between
throbs within me
it knows my fears and knows the true me
I am more scared of the truth
than of the lies
The truth pushes me farther and farther into my lies
yet the lies free me of the truth
only to deceive my heart and in the end
the truth must come out
But my soul does not have the courage to stand up to the lies
the wall of spikes comes closer as the lies spread
the truth will free me
I know though that I am unsure of whether or not I want to be free
For freedom allows danger to enter
