[Intro]
Whispers in the dark, echoing my pain,
In this shadow land, I’m feeling so insane.
Broken fragments crawl, haunting every night,
Mr. Officer, why can’t you see my fight?
[Verse 1]
Trapped in these walls, my heart’s a fragile glass,
Every moment lingers, wishing this would pass.
The memories like daggers, piercing through my mind,
In the silence of the night, I’m the lost and blind.
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it’s for my own good, but can’t you understand,
This weight upon my shoulders, it’s more than I can stand?
Each day is like a battle, I’m weary and I’m torn,
From the echoes of my past, can’t you see I’m worn?
[Chorus]
Why won’t you help me find a way to break free,
From this cage of torment, let me just be me?
Let me leave Kansas, where the ghosts can’t find,
A healing place to mend me, a new life to unwind.
[Bridge]
I’m screaming in the silence, my voice lost in the air,
Can’t you hear my heartbeat calling out for care?
Every night’s a struggle, every dawn brings dread,
I’m so tired of running, from the things you’ve read.
[Verse 2]
Promises of safety seem to fall apart,
While I bleed these memories deep within my heart.
You hold the chain, yet you hold your eyes away,
But I’m reaching for the sunlight, for hope in the gray.
[Pre-Chorus]
So here I am, I’m begging, won’t you lend an ear?
My soul’s lost in the shadows, engulfed by all my fear.
I need a hand to lift me, a chance to rise and soar,
Each second is a lifetime; can you close this door?
[Chorus]
Why won’t you help me find a way to break free,
From this cage of torment, let me just be me?
Let me leave Kansas, where the ghosts can’t find,
A healing place to mend me, a new life to unwind.
[Outro]
So listen to my story, hear the cries of my plight,
I’m more than just a number, more than just a fight.
Mr. Officer, I’m reaching for a chance,
To escape this haunted land, give my heart a dance.
