Abandoned

Cast off the shackles you used to bind me Rip off the blindfold Was lost but now I see You fed me lies, false alibis A light that once brought hope I now despise I feel like I've been asleep my whole life Now that I have awoken, I feel alive At first I thought god had abandoned me Soon it came clear, my mind is now free Get out of my head Control is all you seek Why else would I have turned to you When I was so weak Even now in my despair I call to you a final time I can't hear your voice anymore Was it even there at all How low did I have to fall Just to call your name If you're there, I hope you feel my shame When I die will I burn in hell or rot in the ground Will I see a bright light or will it all go black I feel like I've been asleep my whole life Now that I have awoken, I feel alive At first I thought god had abandoned me Soon it came clear, my mind is now free I don't need you anymore My mind was once weak Now I am strong enough to see you for what you are A lie used to control those in need We are all abandoned
