For Ever

I've been like this for years
locked in repetition
life's just what I see
happening outside
"don't let life drag you down"
misread the premonition
no one's hurting me
and I am satisfied

at least I cannot fall
surrounded by 4 walls
these 4 walls that you see
are everything to me

my hopes, my fears, my dreams
locked inside for ever
my hopes, my fears, my dreams
so they cannot be shattered
I bend afraid to make a mess
afraid to walk on broken glass
I'm bending till I break
for ever till I break...

I lock myself away
I lost security
am I supposed to love
when it's not in my memory?
I can't stand company
can't barely stand myself
I go and eat at night
in need of something else

"I hate myself and I want to die"
is like a soundtrack to my life
but there's a promise I can't amend
I won't die by my own hands

my hopes, my fears, my dreams
locked inside for ever
my hopes, my fears, my dreams
so they cannot be shattered
I bend afraid to make a mess
afraid to walk on broken glass
I'm bending till I break
for ever till I break...
