This thing that's holding me hostage

its driving me insane

Can claim it doesn't affect me

but its impossible to do

when my captors have no name

Yea

The origins of these chains  are  a mystery to me

Still need a key to break myself  free

Yet still I can't accept that

I can live life  without

always trying to fight them

best them

break them

Ugh

Now I'm addicted

and I hate it

Cause I can't choose between the inflictions

of fighting to be or just being in captivity

My mind tries to make the choice

but my heart has to make the  decision

Now I know that I just can't quit

See

The fact is that the clash, the fight, the restrain

is actually good for me

Cause I learn from my defeat

I survive thanks to my mistakes

But captivity keeps eating away at me

Sir

I keep participating in this game

and I swear to you I would stop if I could

But I can't really find a way out

cause it's too dark in here to see

Listen

You can look at me and say

this problem has a simple fix

and if I was smarter and more compliant

I could make it all go away

I will not listen to you

I refuse to betray who I am

Fool

Yea you go ahead and claim

that you know what i'm going through

when everyone can see that  you don't have a clue

Ignorance

That's the race in which you run

Where the finish line is too far away

but you don't care because you think

people will drop everything

and  just carry you over to it

Everyday

I try getting closer

to the end of my race

But its a game I play in this cell

The one that you've locked me in

because I got so close to the beating you

And

The rules always change

So often that now

I don't even know how to play  

You've confused me in every way

My paths are blocked

so now lines are crossed

My love

I thought you would save me

but now I see its all your fault

You've locked me up

and I can't break free

I've finally realized now that

finding a way out of this maze, this captivity

is my trial to complete

Now

I refuse to look you in the eyes

cause I can't get over the fact that

taking one step towards you

causes you to take two steps back
