Tongue Tied

can't avoid My heart remains locked inside this cell   Drown in the hopelessness As It pulls me under Choke on the emptiness But I find no resolve   Drown in the hopelessness The silence amplified Choke on the emptiness Tongue tied Forlorn, a call without a voice No vessel suited for release  The chasm inside growing deep  Claws of isolation, sink into me   My soul overflows Swallowed by the void Concealing the form That dwells within   Devoid of control I call to the heavens Release my tongue Cut out the skin Drown in the hopelessness As It pulls me under Choke on the emptiness But I find no resolve   Drown in the hopelessness The silence amplified Choke on the emptiness Tongue tied   A key to the lock On the gates surrounding me The words to the thoughts  Once trapped inside, trapped inside of me   I spoke the same pitch of the world But my voice fell on deaf ears I played the song born in my heart My chorus still echoes through the realms I found my timbre, my song
