I have been here once
I was warned not to stay
I denied what was real
Shut my eyes from the day
Did I ever let it show close to the end
(Chorus) Chained to stone
I’m no longer
Only trapped here inside
Whispering not for long
Let you lie through your words
Help me see what a waste
Let me surrender to you
Worst mistake I’ve made
Heard you lie in the distance from here
Soon the façade will be gone
Empty and alone
The choice is right
Did I ever let it show
Close to the end…
