Retribution

In the silence of the night
I'm lost in my own mind
A secret garden of emotions that I've left behind
The one I love the most
By my side every day
But I'm afraid to speak the truth and let my feelings stray

I've built these walls so high Afraid to let them see
The depths of my emotions I keep them inside of me
But I long to set them free In the safety of your eyes
I'm scared to share my soul afraid of sweet goodbyes

I'm trapped in my own world behind a mask I wear
Afraid to show the truth the burdens that I bear
I long to feel your love without the fear of shame
To share my heart with you and break free of these chains

Behind these hidden tears
A storm is raging deep
A tempest of emotions that I cannot keep
I see the judgment in your eyes
I hear the anger in your voice
Buried in anxiety
But it's not by choice

I'm trapped in my own world behind a mask I wear
Afraid to show the truth the burdens that I bear
I long to feel your love without the fear of shame
To share my heart with you and break free of these chains

I know you love me
But it's hard to let you in when I'm afraid
That showing weakness is a sin
But I'm tired of this facade that I live in
Understand me
Retribution never wins

In the stillness of the night
I hope you'll understand
That my silence isn't weakness
It's a pain that's close at hand
I need your open heart
To break these chains of fear
To share my deepest self
To know you're always near

I'm trapped in my own world behind a mask I wear
Afraid to show the truth this burden that I bear
I long to feel your love without the fear of shame
To share my heart with you and break free of these chains

Tearing down these walls won't stay silent for too long
All for one for all until Death takes us home
Until Death takes us home
