Lyrics

I have lived with darkness, for all my life

I've been deceived You'd be afraid If you could feel my pain

And if you could see the things I am able to see Break me out, break me out, let me see Break me out, break me out, set me free

I hail from the darkness for all my life I've been deceived You'd be scared Living with my despair

And if you could feel the things I am able to feel Break me out, break me out, let me see Break me out, break me out, set me free Break me out, break me out, let me see Break me out, break me out, set me free

Save me from the darkside Break me out, break me out, set me free
