This breath grows louder, pressing against my skin.
Creeping over me, holding me still.
I'm suffocating, I cannot breathe,
I want to scream, I want to leave.
This anger is all I feel,
I need to wake; this can't be real.
Can you hear me beyond these walls?
My voice is fading, the silence falls.
I'm so alone, no one to call.
Can anyone see, Innocence lost.
I close my eyes, I feel the weight,
It hurts so much, I've learned to hate.
I'm just a child, behind closed doors,
hiding a secret that can't be told.
This pain is all I feel,
I need to wake, this can't be real.
Can you hear me beyond these walls?
My voice is fading, the silence falls.
I'm so alone, no one to call.
Can anyone see, Innocence lost.
I wait in silence, too numb to cry,
I don't want to live; I want to die.
I've learned to fake it, to just pretend—
Praying that one day, this will end.
Please, God, set me free,
Why did you turn your back on me?
Trapped in a past I can't erase,
I want to vanish and leave this place.
I'm so alone, no one to call.
Can anyone see, Innocence lost.
Can you hear me beyond these walls?
My voice is fading, the silence falls.
I'm so alone, no one to call.
Can anyone see, Innocence lost.
Tell me why you did this to me,
Why you cursed the child I used to be.
My soul has faded into black,
And I know there's no turning back.
