Release

I can't even cry now,
Although I wish I could.
I only want to die now,
Though I know its no good,

If only you'd release me
And finally set me free
I could do the one thing that I need
To end the pain in me,

You keep me caged and trapped
And tethered to this place
You wont allow me to finally quit
Even though I lost the race

But one day you wont be watching
One day I'll go to far
And what is left of my shattered soul
Will be scattered through the stars.
