Chains around my ankle with nowhere to go
With only loneliness for my company, god, I can't take it anymore!
Locked up behind these four walls with no escape
Wishing and praying for freedom, I sit and wait
Locked up like this harbouring a lot of hate
Scared and alone afraid to open my eyes
Why do you get to choose who lives and who dies
I hear the screams of the others just like me
Only they are not like me
Why do you keep me and set them free
They are better off even if it is in death
Locked up like this I wish to take my last breath
I've lost track of how long it's been since you stole me
Yet I count the hours waiting for when you will come and hold me
Although your very touch I despise
I crave it because it's the only contact I've known for a while
Locked up like this wishing I could run a million miles
All I've known for a long time is hate and fear
Yet I love the scent of you drawing near
I hate the way you look at me, yet I can't bare for you to look away
Have I finally gone crazy, is today the day?
Locked up like this I wish my pain away
I've cried every last bit of tears, I have no more to shed
Used and broken I lie here on this dirty bed
Yet I betray myself because I can't wish you dead
I'm confused by all the conflicted thoughts running through my head
Locked up like this hating myself instead
I despise the way I look in your eyes
I thought I knew you but it was all lies
I should have been more careful, I should have been more wised
For years I've been yours to use and abuse
Locked up like this I'm so confused
You think saying I love you can make up for what you did to me?
You took away my soul, my freedom, you broke me
Now you say it's time to let me go
But where the hell do you expect me to go
I know I'm crazy for saying no I won't go
Locked up like is all I know
