My hands are tied
As I'm led through the bloody hell of human lies
I fight not to be left to die
But I'm beaten down no matter what I try

And through this battle alone I lay
longing for the dawn of another day
And I know that somehow I must pay
because of what I have taken away

So I force myself to my knees
my eyes are tearful as I beg and plead
"Don't take what has been given to me
So alone again I shall never be..."

The sun is shining outside
But it’s raining inside my head
I’m a sea of empty water
Giving life yet almost dead

I can’t find the words to tell you
Or even start to explain
I’m just trying to do the right thing
And spare us both the pain

I feel I’ve been placed in shackles
But left without a cell
You and I could be in heaven
So why must we confine ourselves in hell?

We found each other in the darkness
Tending our unhealed wounds alone
We both were looking for direction
After the burning pain we were shown

I don’t know how I feel
It’s getting more difficult to tell
Just put your trust in me
And help me out of my lonely shell

I need to know your feelings
To hold you as we cry again
Then when we arise in the morning
We just might be more than friends

Dawn cracks through my windows
Another sleepless night fades away
Caught in the cycle of the unknown
More and more is pulled from me

I can't stop, not for my own soul
Driven harder every moon rise
Pushed to limits beyond
As that addiction makes me be

I'm making my way somewhere
Enjoying the ride as it comes
Souring my own soul
Please just one more time, Baby

It's over now, it's starting still
Sinking feelings of elation
And as dawn breaks again I know
Won't stop for anybody

Invisible hands

 Tearing my heart
Into two pieces
Harming my love
Blocking my needs
from reaching me

Invisible hands

Mauling my sanity
Searing my body
Dragging me down
Paths I loathe
And cannot avoid

Invisible hands

Pulling me up
Forcing me down
Pushing me on
Holding me back

Why won't these hands just leave me alone?
