Gone

You had broken me down to nothing, made me inferior
you had torn me down to nothing, i was not fully aware
that you'd not be satisfied 'til I was nothing, using my fears, you     
held me down, drove down to your level, and I begged you to stay

At my very core there was a hollow soul...
the emptiness had killed my hopes for tomorrow
I found it hard to breathe in your presence, choking
on your hidden agendas, your ways and your means

No more suffocating, no more allowing the stifling abhor ration
I have paid the price, after you sentenced me to life, earning freedom
yes I have paid my dues, my penance is through, and no more do I care
sorry, baby, I've seen the truth, realizing, here, is not my place

At my very core there is an awakening soul...
the emptiness has begun filling with my dreams
I am fighting for breath, begging to feel, dying to live
Longing for the freedom, crying for liberation       

no more will you break me down to nothing, I am no longer with fear
you can no longer tear me down to nothing, I am now fully aware
that you are the one living with a secret, the strangling, horrid, torment   
of being alone... I am above your level, and I am already gone
