from within the dark cage of my sadness
Those angels with shining halos
and beautiful wings
They bid me to dance in the light with them
just for a little while
They say I look so cold
there in the shadows
They say my heart has been frozen
by the ice that surrounds my world
But where were they
when I needed them most
They don't know
that I am trapped here
And if I could break through this darkness
would I join them
Or would I remain here
in the only place I have ever known
In this cold ocean
where I will inevitably drown
And sink into the depths of oblivion
Yes
That is where I would remain
and so I ignore their sweet voices
because I know I will never find
the warmth of their light
My halo is tarnished
my wings have been broken
And my home is in this prison
i have created for myself
