Overcome
Close the lock and throw away the key
My heart is a captive, it will never be free
Free to be abused
By those so sickly amused
By all the pain I show
The pain through which I go
Shoulda locked it up sooner then later
Then I could have avoided the crater
The gaping hole where my heart should be
Collecting all the sorrow for eternity
Body shaking uncontrollably
Maybe it's time to pay the fee
The debt that all men pay
At least that's what they say
You convinced me I was destined to cry
That I was only destined to die
But you're dead wrong, I'm only destined to fly
Destined to spread my wings, and soar on high
I won't look back, the horizon's in front of me
I'll look to tomorrow, I control what it will be
Now it isn't a matter of wishing or thinking to try
It's a matter of doing, so I'm saying goodbye
There is a future ahead of me, ever brighter
As I rise up to heaven I feel ever lighter
It's time to live and I really do care
But you don't, so that's why you'll never be there
You'll long forever for the past that's gone
Trapped on a chess board, a lonely pawn
And you'll sit and think of all the times you did me wrong
And I'll keep on keeping on, whistling a happy song
