I'm trapped inside this echo of a life I

[Verse] I'm trapped inside this echo of a life I left behind. I haven't found the words, to describe this inner voice I hide. One moment's all I need so I can safely break away. But this inner voice betrays me and prevents me my escape. [Verse] This endless darkened hall with no light to guide the way. The howling of the draft that blows the scent of my decay. [Crescendo] With my thoughts in utter stillness, And this life in stagnant dread. No hope to overcome this. My body is alive... but my inner child's dead! [Musical break] [Verse] This wicked nature in me that I have never understood. Why do I have these demons that consistently consume me as I knew they always would. [Verse] It's tearing at my soul with serrated claws of conscience. As if my spirit was a scabbard for a knife thats forged in darkness. [Pre-Chorus] A moment's peace would set me free but I can never find the way. I'm trapped inside a mind of mirrors, broken and betrayed. [Chorus] If you can hear me lord I am begging on my knees. I need to hear your voice. I need to feel your peace. HEAR ME! (HEAR ME) HEAR MY PLEA! [Crescendo] I hear the banging in my head, a steady rhythm on my skull. It's hard to comprehend, as my mind begins to fall. What is this I am hearing. this knocking at the door. I can not see the ending, it is haunting ever more. [Chorus] If you can hear me lord I am begging on my knees. I need to hear your voice. I need to feel your peace. HEAR ME! (HEAR ME) HEAR MY PLEA! "I'm desperate, Lord! I throw myself upon you, for you alone are my God! My life, my every moment, my destiny—it's all in your hands." [Musical outro]
