You left when I was young
When it was over
And they were done
There was no place for me to run
I had no voice
I couldn’t speak
All my talent buried deep
Beneath your memories’ that tried to seep
Through the wall I had to build
In my mansion on the hill
Where I watched the world stand still
I was looking for a place inside
Where I was safe and I could hide
On the outside my head held high
On the inside I felt I’d died
Crooked place’s
Jaded name’s
Faded face’s
Year’s of pain
I have nothing left to lose
I have nothing left to gain
I’m not searching for a message
I’m not searching for a clue
I’m searching everywhere
I’m searching for my muse
I’m searching just for you
They stole my voice when I was young
When it was over and they were done
There was no place left to run
So I built a wall around myself
Sat up high upon a shelf
Straddled in their prison is where I dwelled
It’s all over for me now
I made it through this maze somehow
No dead end’s
The road is clear
I’m not looking in my rear
