Jack in a Box

i�ve seen things that should not be
and I had lost my mind
I look into the glass
but it�s half empty
and they wonder why
life was never a joke to me
because I�m not a ragged toy
why can�t I just let the past go?
because they made it perfectly clear
that they'd rather see me in solitude
and waste away my years

I thought my dreams stretched like the ocean
but all this time I was trapped in a box
sometimes I hate to face reality
when all is dark, I�m a freak
surrounded by walls that suffocate me
I was never perfect by no one�s standards
but after so many years
I calmed down and wanted peace
seems like no one cares what this means

they push me to the edge, till I let go
made it all about them
when it was never anyone's business
with all the sick monsters out there
I was never half as twisted
so I�m lost in this solitude they created
what is my existence?
a box surrounding my heart
and it won't ever go away!!!
