Gray Area

On this side of the window

Reality seems so rare

Deprivation choking me

Now I’m running out of air

Watching the sun go down

Curiosity has grown

My arms remain scarless

For this is all I’ve ever known

I need to dismantle

The ropes of my mapped-out fate

They’re suffocating me

I hope I’m not too late

This sick, sad, little life

Its law I wont abide

Lead me to the gray area

And let me decide

I’ve only scratched the surface

Still digging to find the haunting core

To be reborn by its essence

Before I smell the rose on my coffin door

Let me have my freefall

Into what I’ve yet to know

Be my forbidden savior

And let this trapped girl go
