The gates have closed and now I’m on my own
Alone I stand deserted by those closest
If the stick and stones begin to break my mind
Still I’ll be searching for reason that I can’t find
I never knew
Life could be so cruel
But justice
Another broken rule
The years have passed but still it lives with me
I’m haunted by the ghosts of childhood past
All I wanted was a life to live
But seven deadly sins I can’t forgive
Stare though the glass
Your museum case lives
Another twist
Of the bloodstained knife
Through the years this is what I see
For all the things I can’t believe
The fire that burns in me
I live each day as it comes
Survival is an instinct
That exists inside me
Inside me
And still life goes on
