The rush of the lies and deceit in you eyes
girl you got me hypnotized dont you start to cry
you dont have the to handle the shit im goin through
dont get me wrong its not just you
you dont even know the things you do to me
if you could step in my shoes what would you see
a path of hate and anger, of fury and rage
knowing so long that you've kept me caged
its not your fault you tried to set me free
i kept trying to believe that you could love me
all you deliver is heartbreak and hell
and just sit here trapped in my cell
my emotions devour me but ive not yet fell
i push them down to my boiling well
a vat of feelings mixed and astir
sent to the pit cuz of you not her
ever so steady but always rising
this is what most starts to define me
rising to fast and about to explode
if i keep holding on i may be exposed
i may be exposed to my true inner being
not what everyone believes there seeing
an inner battle of anger and lust
displaying me to the one i trust
these battles i face i need to keep
but the well within only goes so deep
you all see what i want you to see
youd be terrified if you knew the real me
every little cut, all my inner scars
you could try to explore me, but you wouldnt get far
supress my emotions, sheathe my face
if the demons escape ive damaged your fate
you see the nice, the happy, the sweet
noone knows the war waging underneath
steel eyed and hard faced giving nothing away
saving the fire for another day
quick to restrain lest the devil be tempted
prepared to withhold i hold the preemptive
should my tainted soul be tested
i will know ive not been bested
lay down my head and rest with ease
knowing another day they have been seized
last thing i think to myself
is how i will stop tomorrows hell
pent up now, deep safe inside
caged for now, the inevitable can only hide
