Live in a Hole

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Full of grief I scream at the wind Thought I heard the words of others Imprison myself And stay in a shell I won't let you in to have a story to tell Things tend to drag me down Don't understand so they hate me now My fear grips the will of stone My grip fears I'll die alone I promised myself somewhere in the teenage life I'd never submit to the ones I will not be like Live in a hole But stay close to my kind Cause they understand what burns in my mind I still feel incomplete Friends are few and far between My fear grips the will of stone My grip fears I'll die alone
