Captive - Gates

I cannot leave this place

Pining for what isn’t mine

Held so long in these chains

Longing for the other side

Everybody meets their end

Waiting for the things they love to begin

So I will put this world to sleep

And I will not awake until I am free

While rapt in the safety of this dream

I’m everything I thought I could be

I break from the prison I’ve been in

And I find the love in me

But then I wake and nothing is real

Except the walls I can’t escape

And the freedom I’ll never feel

And I have lost everything

Hoping for a life that I’ll never lead

I can’t know the meaning of this life

I can’t be the truth I’ve yet to find

I can’t feel the love inside of me

Until I’m awake and I am free

And I am awake and I am free
