looking back I can see all the things I'd hoped I'd be
funny but I had been then all I wanted in the end
now I'm here and so unsure of things I thought I knew before
in my mind I am free to contain myself eternally
I'd been looking to escape from a self inflicted state
of battery and fear, the way out was always near
bring me back, how can I explain
I don't know where I have been
it's clear from the look you've got you don't know either
and I can't remember feeling light as a feather
but I'm sure I did back then
I'm sorry, I can't talk right now
your voice still makes me cry
all it took was fifteen minutes to cut me down to pieces
and I can't remember what happiness feels like
without the use of some kind of poison
set me free, I don't want to be the way that I was before
set me free, I don't want to be ashamed of this anymore
