Testo Dead Inside

Sometimes when I'm alone I get scared
So I search the house for my tormentors, but none of them are there
I say to myself, "it's all in my head"
But I know that sitting inside here causes this mournful dread
Pictures express what's been erased
You have left me behind here, locked down in this place
If anyone has thought of me, would they know what I'm going through?
Any one of your assumptions: none are true
And I can't give what people want from me
Some kind of supernatural, that I'll never be
I don't need your helping hand to pull me out of this hole
These eternal chains restrict my soul

Years have passed, I've lost more than gained
I hear their footsteps echoing, but my cries of help are restrained
I cannot rekindle what I have lost
They have all moved on, my old friends; I cannot accost
All of the ones I wished I'd have met
It's not my fault it never happened, so how can I feel regret?
Is it something I've said or what I've done?
With this white flag swelling above me, this battle I have not won
I don't need faded memories, loved and hated
But I can see a new beginning that's been elated
I don't need faded memories, loved and hated
But I can see a new beginning that's been elated
