I can’t repent
I’ve crossed the line, one too many times
Stop holding me
I wanna break free before I turn to flight
But as I stand before the court that happens to be you
With your flower in your hair and hazy eyes of blue
I’d do anything to get my point across to you
That we could be together in result of something new
I lie there still
I never want to leave
I’ve had you in my thoughts this entire time
There’s not much left
For me to say that would mean anything better than goodbye

Four walls to contain you
Two walls to remind you you’re alone
Shout and scream, they will watch
But not a voice or even sound will be heard
Cages have more freedom
When you have no voice
Left alone by yourself, stuck to your decaying thoughts
A beautiful, but tragic sight
Touch the wall and see the world you’re not apart of
Touch the wall and see yourself standing there
Having forgotten what you look like, who you are
A glass box surrounds you with the worst thing possible*
Your thoughts
(Yourself)
Something from behind is changing you
The way you act and speak, the things you do
Life surely has no hope outside
The glass walls keep you occupied

Close the Gates

In a kingdom far away
Lived a queen whose debt need be repaid
Through the courtship of a man
Lied a dark and devious command
Laid out by the queen’s hand
When the mistress was away
The queen and knight had room to stay
This is where she took her place
Upset the king and all his men
A tribal force to contend
Quick hurry now close the gates
Before it’s far too late
Quick hurry now close the gates
This kingdom of shame and sorrow
Has brought no fame
To my family crest and name
But the knight didn’t like his fame
The notorious man and queen were slain
Hung in the gallows on the square
The norietor and kings next heir
He felt it pass through air

Turn Back Time

I know
It’s hard to feel this way
I’m used to it
From all the times I came
I don’t remember
Putting this down in my life
I can’t see the future
But I just wish you were here tonight
Turn back time
And let me know
Just where you’ve been
Which way to go
It’s hard
Trying to find out what it's like
It’s not easy
When you know you hold the knife
I can’t recall now
The way that you first looked at me
I’d love to tell you
All the wonderful things I’d see
I’d turn in the night when I still can’t sleep
And think of all the things we’d be
It’s hard not to say what you cannot become
But still in my mind I haven’t given up

Fly So High

I’ll keep you in my prayers
You know I’ll always be there
Keep fighting
No hiding
Can’t turn back time
We are always here for you
There’s still more we can do
Keep fighting
Still surviving
It’s all okay
Fly so High
So high
You’ll always be my best friend
It will work out in the end
Don’t stop trying, keep fighting
It’s all okay
Fly so High
So high
