Shut In Myself

People get shocked when I arrive

To this wheelchair I am chained

But my mind's alive

trapped in this broken shell

Trying to control my spasms

While my dribble stains my clothes

And my eyes are begging

"please take my hand"

I only need understanding,

I am not dead yet

I don't wanna be shut in myself,

I wanna run away

I am trying to express myself

but my mouth won't say a word

I would like to stand up

shouting my name

If only I could understand

why god did this to me?

A misdrawn caricature

that's what I am

I only need understanding,

I am not dead yet

I don't wanna be shut in myself,

I wanna run away

You can see the same again,

people are pitying me

My life lies in others' hands

like a puppet without strings

I'm completely useless,

but they're keeping me alive

Who cares about what I do?

If my fate's already sealed

I think they must let me

follow my way

I only need understanding,

I am not dead yet

I don't wanna be shut in myself,

I wanna run away

You can see the same again,

people are pitting me

Am I dreaming? Am I dead?

All my thoughts are sinking into the void

I can stand up, now I can explain

All I've felt throughout this endless pain

I am falling into the unknown

Darkness never seemed so bright before

For this poison, I have to thank

The friendly hand that finally freed my soul
