My heart sinks lower
Behind these four walls
The days go by ticking by the hour
I become numb, losing all feel...

The door closes on my life
I seek the key to open me
Searching my darkened strife
Wishing to be rescued and set free...

I lose myself within this hell
Becoming someone I do not know
Situations darken and my spirit fell
Back and forth through my ebb and flow...

My eyes shed tears in silent dark
No one but me sees the pain
These four walls have left their mark
On my heart, they leave a bloody stain...

To others, I am made of stone
I keep the real me inside
I hide the love I know I have shown
To myself, the world has lied...

This will not end my strife
My thoughts will become clear
My heart has strength to survive
And the pain I shed will kill the fear...

My light is dim and faint
But the tunnel I see is there
Beyond my reach, beyond the taint
I walk slowly, I the only one who cares...

I don't need anyone to see
The pain I have inside my heart
I seek a new life, to be set free
I wait in silence for my new life to start...

These four walls keep me caged
In silence, the tears I shed
Wash away this part of my life's stage
For these four walls will not be fed...

The cold night seeks my fear
The stones whisper my name
This place seems so near
Closing in on all my shame...

I will shine like diamonds in the sky
The world will not own me
my heart and soul soars high
With these four walls, I will set myself free... ...
