The Siege

What's wrong with me? Oh I was born in silence Help me see Remove this thorn with pliers The storm's in me And I am worn and weary I'm all at sea All hope is disappearing My life's a gripping book No one will read A silver hook Where hand should be A filthy noose Slung from a tree This isn't who I was supposed to be I try to kill the truth Before it speaks Patch up the roof Before it leaks Walk miles in shoes On different feet A little tune that I composed with dreams On Help me move on Help me be strong I promise I didn't mean to start this siege inside myself Gone Where have I gone? Everything's wrong I wander in a field where I can't see where's safe to step I took some hits And now my life's gone septic Been through some shit But I can't find the exit I'm on my own I think my soul has left me I'm torn with holes And I am so damn empty Well I've grown disaster Like a boil I've thrown a match Towards some oil This phoney mask Just won't come off Danger's sweet and I've acquired the taste I'm trying to Connect the dots To separate the True from false Ineptitude or minor flaws? I cannot dream while I'm still wide awake On I can't go on I'm not that strong I promise I didn't mean to start this siege inside myself Gone Where have I gone? I don't belong I'm sorry I can't seem to start believing in myself
