Concerning The Way It Was lyrics

The shadow cast upon me Eyes sewn shut with the wires Life bound by the lies that pierce my skin Heart as cold as winter Although there is no season In this place of loneliness Im drowning every day the same Locked at the ankles plotting my escape I've tried so hard to remind myself Lifes only what i see I thought i lost the meaning But i was only finding you The years without the freedom Tortured by words of reason Convincing those around me That life consists of nothing And death the end of all things You've broken through the darkness The shadow gone forever And now i live and now theres hope
