Deep down inside I was burning I was looking for a lesson to be learning A ray of hope or something to believe in I couldn't find it Couldn't find it I was crawling on my knees like a vagrant Couldn't break free from the chains I shackled myself a long time ago I couldn't shake it Couldn't shake it Ooooh I couldn't shake it I was looking to the sky for an answer Crying up at the clouds thinking maybe god or somebody else Would come and save me Save me Ooooh Come and save me Ooooh Come and save me Oooh Yeah oooh I was pounding my fists on the pavement Put my ear to the ground I couldn't hear a sound And it was like nobody was gonna save me Save me Ooooh Come and save me Ooooh Come and save me Ooh I've been hiding for so long Ooh I've been hiding behind these walls Ooh I've been waking up in hell Ooh And I built it all myself Ooohh
