Trapped Inside

Trapped inside, I can't escape it
No more lies, I'll tell you everything
All the money in the world can't buy my freedom now
So brace yourself, this is my confession

Recorded words
Revealed a part of me
A piece of my sordid heart
But the truth is it was so much worse
If only the law could have heard my thoughts

I can't ever change these words
And I can't take away the hurt
And I can't live with what I've done
Or what I'd become, unforgivable

Don't look up to mе
I don't know how to end your suffering
Don't look up to me
I don't know how to еnd your suffering

I was blind and wouldn't see that
I could find a different better way out
So now I'll always live with all the remorse and shame
Seeing clearly now the vile person that I became

But I will never forget
How I became consumed with selfishness
And it should be clear for others to see
If you're looking for guidance, look beyond me

I would have done anything
To stop the pain of feeling
I'd lose everything I love
Depths I'd have gone, a sentence I still face

Don't look up to me
I don't know how to end your suffering
Don't look up to me
I don't know how to end your suffering

This is it, it's my confession
This is it, it's my confession now

I became what I hated

The quiet voice that seemed so small
Was watered just enough for it to grow
Until moment's passing desire
Found roots deep enough to catch on fire
And every dark corner of my mind
Found a friend to help it come alive
Now every hidden and shameful thing
Is brought to light for all to see
