The Glass Prison lyrics

Cunning, Baffling, Powerful
Been beaten to a pulp
Vigorous, Irresistable
Sick and tired and laid low
Dominating, Invincible
Black-out, loss of control
Overwhelming, Unquenchable
I m powerless, have to let go

I can t escape it
It leaves me frail and worn
Can no longer take it
Senses tattered and torn

Hopeless surrender
Obsession s got me beat
Losing the will to live
Admitting complete defeat

Fatal Descent
Spinning around
I ve gone too far
To turn back round

Desperate attempt
Stop the progression
At any length
Lift this obsession

Crawling to my glass prison
A place where no one knows
My secret lonely world begins

So much safer here
A place where I can go
To forget about my daily sins

Life here in my glass prison
A place I once called home
Fall in nocturnal bliss again

Chasing a long lost friend
I no longer can control
Just waiting for this hopelessness to end

Run - fast from the wreckage of the past
A shattered glass prison wall behind me
Fight - past walking through the ashes
A distant oasis before me

Cry - desperate crawling on my knees
Begging God to please stop the insanity
Help me - I m trying to believe
Stop wallowing in my self pity

"We ve been waiting for you my friend
The writing s been on the wall
All it takes is a little faith
You know you re the same as us all"

Help me - I can t break out this prison all alone
Save me - I m drowning and I m hopeless on my own
Heal me - I can t restore my sanity alone

Enter the door
Desperate
Fighting no more
Help me restore
To my sanity
At this temple of hope

I need to learn
Teach me how
Sorrow to burn
Help me return
To humanity
I ll be fearless and thorough
To enter this temple of hope

Believe
Transcend the pain
Living the life
Humility
Opened my eyes
This new odyssey
Of rigorous honesty

Serenity
That I never knew
Soundness of mind
Helped me to find
Courage to change
All the things that I can

"We ll help you perform this miracle
But you must set your past free
You dug the hole, but you can t bury your soul
Open your mind and you ll see"

Help me - I can t break out this prison all alone
Save me - I m drowning and I m hopeless on my own
Heal me - I can t restore my sanity alone

Way off in the distance I saw a door
I tried to open
I tried forcing with all of my will but still
The door wouldn t open

Unable to trust in my faith
I turned and walked away
I looked around, felt a chill in the air
Took my will and turned it over

The glass prison which once held me is gone
A long lost fortress
Armed only with liberty
And the key of my willingness

Fell down on my knees and prayed
"Thy will be done"
I turned around, saw a light shining through
The door was wide open
