Close the curtains and cover my eyes

Runnin' through hell, don't be surprised

They sayin' to be dead is divine

Still, they beggin' me to be alive

Mmm, this melancholy in my mind

Mmm, no freedom when I close my eyes

Mmm, I'm tellin' you, it's not divine

Mmm, this melancholy in my mind

I done burned all the pages, this pen is my enemy

My body the weapon, my mind is the prison

I close my eyes just hopin' for serenity

But I'm dyin' from everything that I'm missin'

The angel that they made of me's only a memory

And now all that I'm seein' is fire and destruction

Beggin' you, please don't believe in me

I'm trapped in this asylum and I'm stuck in

Mmm, this melancholy in my mind

Mmm, no freedom when I close my eyes

Mmm, I'm tellin' you, it's not divine

Mmm, this melancholy in my mind

They told me, "Don't be surprised

When the horrors of this place flood in your mind

These things, they say, will come with time

They will stay with you, even if you die"

The ink that you were spillin', now it becomes your own

The thoughts that you were havin' become what you know

The angels that you knew before now seem like foes

This world that you were writin' is now your only home

The flame of hope that you have will eventually dim

The love you had before now will begin to wane

You used to be their angel, now they all see your sins

No matter how you try, you won't escape from this place
