Shackles of Hell

I’ve been pushed closer to the edge
Thanks to your cunning ways
I’ve lost the sense of who I am
Forgotten what it means to fly

You dragged my self-esteem to the ground
Just to feed your ego

Narcissist, manipulator
Is all you’ve ever become
In my eyes, you’re no longer the one

You push me and you pull me
Like I’m something you can control
You crave power
You crave to cause pain

You robbed me of my strength
You dragged me to the ground
I sink lower and lower
While you sit on your high-back chair

I lost my way, I lost myself
Beaten down on the ground
But I will find my way back
To liberate myself

I gave you love
I gave you care
But in your eyes
I was never enough

You tore apart my deepest desires
You shattered my hopes and dreams
You gave me nothing more
Than a nightmare to breathe

The heaviness presses on my chest
I can barely contain myself
But I fight to break free
From these shackles of pain

You robbed me of my strength
You dragged me to the ground
I sink lower and lower
While you sit on your high-back chair

I lost my way, I lost myself
Beaten down on the ground
But I will find my way back
To liberate myself

You bit the hand that fed you
You ran and fell into another’s arms
The space between us grows wider

And now I realize

You’re nothing but a pathetic
Compulsive liar
Your weakest parts are showing now
Your insecurities stare back at you

I’m no longer something you can control
I’m no longer moved by your words
All the lies you ever told
Have finally caught up to you

I will not sink lower and lower
Just for your pleasure

I will fight for myself
I will stand my ground
I will find a way to break free
I will find my way

To liberate myself

From the shackles of hell
