The Glass Prison Lyrics

The Glass Prison

I. Reflection

Cunning, Baffling, Powerful
Been beaten to a
pulp
Vigorous, Irresistable
Sick and tired and laid low
Dominating,
Invisible
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

II.
Restoration

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 own 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
The enter this temple of
hope

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

Serenity
I never knew
Soundness of mind
Helped me to
find
Courage the 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 will 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

III. Revelation

Way off in the distance I saw the door
I
tried to open
I tried forcing with all of my will and 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 now 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
