The Place

Caught up in a place that isn't my own
Caught up in a place where I am not known
Wondering if what I am doing is real
Wondering what I am going to feel

Carried away like a dream
Carried away like a stream
Seized by my emotions
Seized by my devotion

Devotion to a place where I don't belong
Devotion to a place where I am wronged
By those you cannot trust
By those not willing to adjust

Am I just another name in this place?
Am I just another name with a face?
Does this place really exist?
Is this really a place I cannot resist?

Can this place create such an addiction?
Can this place create such an affliction?
Should I believe what you say?
Should I believe that I should stay?

Tell me if I am wrong
Tell me if I belong
In a place that has lost its charm
In a place that inflicts harm

Where the truth carries no weight
Where the truth bears no fate
A fate lost when the spell was cast
A fate lost even though the spell cannot last

For the place doesn't feel
For the place isn't real
Because the place is filled with hidden relief
Because the place is filled with hidden grief

Grief inflicted by your constant apologies and lies
Grief inflicted by your constant good byes
Playing havoc on my devotion
Playing havoc on my emotions

You cannot run and hide
From the grief that is built up inside
Caused by sentiments of guilt
Caused by sentiments that wilt

You are not what you seem
You are not what you dream
You need to find peace with your heart
You need to find peace with your evil part

Do you see why this place has no purpose for me?
Do you see why this place will not set you free?
Free from your suffering and strife
Free from your struggles in life

You will not find what you are looking for in this face
You will not find what you are looking for in this place
Because the place exists only in your mind
Because the place exists only when you find

That lies and troubles follow you there
That truth and happiness swallow you where
The place cannot deal with your shame
The place cannot deal with your pain

The place is safe for those who can deal
The place is safe for those who can heal
When the truth becomes fact and not fiction
When the truth does not betray your convictions

When you listen to yourself you will hear the hole
When you hear yourself you will listen to the soul
Only then can you be strong
Only then can you belong
In a place that will begin to feel
In a place that will become real
