Can you see the forest for the trees?
Can you divine the mysteries beneath?
Can you still hear the whispering of each?
You see the trees are somewhat similar to me
Wrapped in this armor that I made
Trapped in this skin in which I rage
Sapped by this long-forgotten cage
The one that I made for saving face
I am lost
Tangled in life
I have spread myself so thin
In the search for what is right
I am bound
Lacking escape
I have put down roots and told myself
That I can still be free
I would give everything
Just to end this unconscious charade
Satisfaction never settled in
Or stifled my hate
I want to destroy something beautiful
I want to defile this empty page
I want to do something inexcusable
God, 'fore I die please let me rage
I want to remember my humanity
I want to reclaim my former self
I want to destroy the sin that's holding me down
In this empty barren hell
I am lost
Tangled in life
I have spread myself so thin
In the search for what is right
I am bound
Lacking escape
I have put down roots and told myself
That I can still be free
Can I be free?
Now that I've broken myself down
To the essence of everything I am
When you listen to this sound
Do you know exactly what I've been?
I am more than you could ever dream
I contain a multitude unseen
I am more than you could ever be
I'm creating my own identity
I am lost
(When you first met me)
Tangled in life
(Was I myself?)
I have spread myself so thin
In the search of what is right
I am bound
(When you first saw me)
Lacking escape
(Was I still strong?)
I have put down roots and told myself
That I can still be free
Can I be free?
