I don't know who I am anymore
Don't ask me questions because I can't answer
I've been taught to think like a soldier
I've learned to feel nothing at all
Can't you help me remember
What I was like before?
I've been locked behind bars for so long
A cage made from false thoughts
Broken, I resigned myself to this fate
And decided there could be nothing worse
But someone broke the lock and set me free
And returned to me my memories
I stand here on my own
All my loved ones long gone
I wallow in misery of my own creation
Lingering in thoughts of the past
Until someone washes the loneliness away
And locks it inside the darkness to stay
I give up every fight so easily
Just up and leave and run away
A coward, hiding when it matters most
I try so hard, so hard at disappearing
Yet someone gave me the strength I needed
To stand tall and proud, and on my own
I was arrogant, an animal unchanged
Rough and ready and so sure of myself
Running on instincts I was losing my mind
Falling prey to the call of the wild
Until someone reached out, accepted me wholly
Taught me to love, taught me to change
I seek vengeance to stop the poison in my heart
I chase the person who means more to me than they know
I decided I only needed power to see me through
I believed I needed love and friendship to get me there
I left everything behind to pursue the reality of my mind
I gave up everything else to focus solely on my heart
My reality turned out to be as bad as my nightmares
But my heart took a beating so many times
I realised there was only one person who could make this hell worthwhile
I only knew of one person who could fix what had been broken
Together we created a new dream, a new future
Together we forged a new bond, a new life
