I wake up
My eyes half shut
Getting ready
To be erased again

These shackles
They keep tightening
Waiting here
I fade away

Days blend into the same old gray
Keep seeking hues that are already dead
A puppet with no lines to say
Drifting around, I fade away

A hollow vessel, an empty shell
Yearning freedom, I just wanna run away
And be myself
I have no choices, I lack a voice
A captive bird, my wings clipped and bound
To this jail
My muffled cries die in the dark
I'm a puppet in a theater of despair
Where no one hears
How I fade away

I wake up
My eyes half shut
Getting ready
To be erased again

These shackles
They keep tightening
Waiting here
I fade away

Days blend into the same old gray
Keep seeking hues that are already dead
A puppet with no lines to say
Drifting around, I fade away
