By Mailani Carita

(I tried to write this to the tune of Stone Tower Temple from Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask, but some parts don't quite fit.)

I am trapped inside of me

Someone come and set me free

Not one word escapes my parted lips

Behind bars is where they always lay

Why can't I speak out against the darkness?

Idle tongue, move! Don't make others pay

(shed light on the way

bring forth a new day

shed light on the way

don't make their souls pay)

Silence reigns, it will win this war

Evil plays, laughs at my scorn

Wake up now! Before it's torn

Don't waste time, unlock the door

Bound by my fear

Devils now lurk here

Do I dare

Pretend they're not there?

I have wings set to soar

I am blocking my own door

Stubborn lips, tell me what they will prove

Beating heart, take hold! Make them obey

Now's my time, my chance to make a move

Make a move...

I am trapped inside of me

Someone come and rescue me

In the shade, the shadows of my sin

I am dark. Guilt kills me from within

Buried deep, drowning in my own screams

Prisoner guarding my own key

(open up your hands

let guilt blow away

open up your heart

you won't go astray)

I have tried to save myself

I thought I was so strong

Please come near, heal my wounds

Make right what I have done wrong

Confess all

Or innocence fall
