You keep casting me… Why?! My hands are tied! I am breaking inside! Right from the start My freedom you denied I’m rotting in the dark Alone… until the day I die The road begins to break It’s right before my eyes It’s more than I can take Your lies! Your lies! You chain me with your lies My pain begins to rise You sabotage my tries A prison of my cries My will! My will has gone away A scar upon my heart You’re tearing me apart Spiting on my life Why?! My hands are tied! I am breaking right from Inside! My hands are tied! Why?! Oh Why?! Oh Why?! Why?! My hands are tied I am breaking inside I can’t take anymore Bleeding from the core The sounds of my war They echo through my inner door Free me from your chains I can’t take anymore Slowly I will die Why?! Why?! Why?! My hands are tied I am breaking inside! Why?! My hands are tied By your lies Lies! Why?! I am breaking inside It’s burning my eyes Why?! Why?! Why do you break me up inside? Why? Oh why?!more
