This Prison of Hurt

I'm trapped
Trapped in a room made of lies
Underneath a waterfall of tears
In a prison of hurt
The tears fill the space around me, leaving me without much more time
Trapped by the lies of all those who have ever starayed from the path of truth
Made wet by all who have ever shed a tear
Deceipt and misery are the things that are killing me
Why?
Why will I not be released?
Released from this prison of hurt
Can I go?
I will stay on the path
I will dry my eyes
Nobody, nothing will be able to keep me in a cage again
If you will just let me go now
Release me
A room made of lies
A waterfall of tears
A prison of hurt
I'm trapped.
