Song Excerpt
I guess I just got lostBeing someone elseI tried to kill the painNothing ever helpedI left myself behindSomewhere along the wayHoping to come back aroundTo find myself someday

I'll never find my heartBehind someone elseI'll never see the light of dayLiving in this cellIt's time to make my wayInto the world I knewTake back all of these timesThat I gave in to you
