Lyrics
In the depths of darkness, where shadows dwell I find myself lost, in a lonely cell Misery knocks with an eerie chime Its grip on my soul, like a binding vine [Chorus[ Oh misery, why do you haunt me so? Your icy fingers claw at my heart, and tear it down below The weight of your pain wraps around me tight Leaving naught but sorrow in bleak twilight [Chorus] Oh misery, why do you haunt me so? Your icy fingers claw at my heart, and tear it down below The weight of your pain wraps around me tight Leaving naught but sorrow in bleak twilight [Bridge] Oh pain, you are my bitter friend Your relentless torment knows no end You pull me under your cruel tide In shadows drowned, where tears collide [instrumental] mmmmmmmmm [Chorus] My past may linger and leave its mark But I'll rise from these ashes, stronger for the dark Brighter days await beyond this troubled phase Together we’ll walk under shade, unafraid [Bridge] [Bridge] [Verse] When I close my eyes, I see a little boy Who wished to be unbreakable like his army toys When he tried to shape the world, his efforts were rebuffed So he tried to shape himself, but wasn't strong enough [Chorus] Oh, how I hated that reflection staring back at me Wishing I could be anyone else, anyone else but me Then little by little, I reclaimed my self-worth Healing those old wounds, those old wounds I've cut since birth [Outro] [Instrumental]
