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
