Lyrics:
There is a darkness in the dungeon of my heart
And if I plunge in it’ll tear my world apart
But the alternative
Is no way to live
I have to end it all if I’m to start
I am the architect of my own prison cell
And brick by brick I built it up as well
When I plead my innocence
Even I am unconvinced
Since I’m the judge that sentenced me to hell
If I built it up then I can tear it down
But I don’t know what to do if I get out
Am I too far gone
Have I holed up for too long
And I dreamed another prison out of doubt
I don’t want to be a victim of my mind
To rot for my imaginary crimes
Oh the jury in my head,
Well they’d rather see me dead
Never living, only serving out my time
I will make a break for freedom some day soon
And when I do, I’ll come and I’ll find you
I’ll plan my great escape
And hope its not too late
To drop my guard and tell you something true
There is a spark in me to set this cell alight
And I’ve smothered it because it burns so bright
I might at last be seen
And judged for who I’ve been
A frightened creature hiding in-the-night
There is a darkness in the dungeon of my heart
And if I plunge in it’ll tear my world apart
But the alternative
Is no way to live
I have to end it all if I’m to start
