My song
by William TeoChained by sorrows and hurts unseen,
Burdened by responsibilities.
I live because I know I must,
I breathe because to stop, I could not.
I wept because I feel so sad.
Walking man, chained heart,
To live and walk but dead at heart,
Tormented soul, living man,
I walked nonstop because I couldn't cease.
And I wept because I had a broken heart.
Give me pain, for I can't feel a thing.
Give me pain, for I'm fading away.
I live, I breathe, but I'm fading away.
I wept because I'm fading away.
I'm walking dead...
And I'm fading away...
Release me, chains of sorrows,
Relases me, chains of life...
I wanna fade away...
fade away...
