Winged Freedom

Stolen Life (Song)

Stolen Life

Standing around, all dressed in black

Love in your heart; the pain it masks

You stand up; the coffin lowers into the ground

And you can't help looking all around

You search the faces

Search the packed, rainy places

Searching for the smiling face

The one that made your heart race

But soon you realize

The one you love

Is being lowered into the ground

His spirit now with your God

Something's getting in the way

It's blocking you with the rain

You're trying to find your place

But you're locked within the maze

The maze of life

The one filled with too many twists and turns

The one that you can't escape

Because the only escape is death

And you don't want to do that

Looking up at the sky,

The rain pours down to your face

Your mascara smears

Your tears now in a race

Your heart now breaks

As you realize he's gone

And the pain takes it's place

And you feel your love leave

No longer able to come back to you

And be held in your arms

You're on your own now

Because someone else pulled the trigger

They didn't think of the life they'd take

Only digging the hole in your heart

Allowing it to grow bigger

You wanted to jump in front of him

You wanted to stop the bullet

But you couldn't get there fast enough

And he crumbled before your eyes

So now you sit

Sit at his funeral

All dressed in black

Letting your heart be taken over

By the pain inside

All other feeling

Now being masked
