The Dark Side of the Tunnel

When hope is hard to find.

I want to fly so high and not come back down from the clouds, far away from you

I cannot give up yet, but I want to get away from you

You control all of me and never let me free

I can't fly anymore because of you

I'm trapped, and I'm stuck

I can't think, I can't sleep, I can't breathe

I want to know how it feels just to be free

You took away my joy and will not give it back

I'm stuck here with you, let me go, let me free

I want to leave this place, if I can, get away.

All I see, all I know is this cage that I'm in.

I want to break out and spread my wings, fly as high as I can go--

I am crying out but feel I'm never heard

Let me go, let me go, let me go

Let me out of here, you're suffocating me.

I can't breathe, I can't see, everything is darkness always surrounding me. You have me right where you want me. You were all I had once and I don't know how to go on my own, but I must be free.

How can this be? Is this my fate?

You will never see what you've done to me.

Can't you leave, or set me free, anyway; I just can't hold on anymore

I don't want this

I will never fly or get to touch the sky, my wings are gone, stolen from me. What's the point, I'm not whole, I'm all alone like I've never known.

No one will save me now.
