Melissa Suzanne- NEW SONGS!!!'s Friend Space (Top 16)
Looking through the window see the twisted glass nothing is what it seems lies mixed with torturous hate to touch the cold and feel the pain longing for the escape shadows drift across the panes confusion lies beyond the clarity not sure what they want me to be everything is skewed fading blues and hazy grays I yell and scream nothing can be seen silence pours out from my lips struggling for someone to set me free desire for something real heart torn between the lies pounding and crying amongst the jolted images reaching through the fog glass shatters yet another follows hands bleeding still screaming Im sorry for everything Im sorry for my life I didn't want the pain If I never was, would no one know? Can you see? Are you through the twisted glass? I want release please help me.
