Here it is again,
The place of my Loneliness,
My nightmare; Clawing at my neck,
Needing to whisper,
Begging to breathe...
Only once,
Just once,
And my love will be free...
But why have you deceived?
Kept me broken,
Left me out,
...Why?

Letting you make love to my mind,
Such beautiful...
Beautiful...
Lies.

When will you let me go?
Let me fly beyond this river of blue,
And see who I am...

Beyond You.~

Why can't you just see me for who I am? Why do I have to pretend? When will I see who I am beyond all of your expectations of me?
