Deep within, I feel it
Grasping for air
Pulling me in
It hurts
Tried to run from it
But I cannot hide
These feelings; they are dark
My soul cannot take the pain
Why did you leave me like that?
You pushed me down
You left without a word
My soul aches for you still
Even though my mind knows I am better off without you
Gathering up the pain
Holding a grudge
Locking my feelings away
Is simply torturing my soul
I need out
I want freedom
The grasp is so firm
I have to break free
I need to move on
And begin to heal my tortured soul
You won't break me
You won't sink me
I will be free from this torture
I will rise above, with nothing holding me back
You may have tortured my soul to its breaking point
But you won't win
I will stand up and fight
I can renew my soul, learn to live just fine, without you.

I'm not a Vocal Newbie (not that there's anything wrong with that), and I'm technologically comfortable. But, I'm also perhaps too comfortable. I think I know, even if I know that I don't know what I don't know, I still think I know more that I do know.
