[Verse 1]
Bm
Cunning, baffling, powerful
Been beaten to a pulp
Vigorous, irresistible
Sick and tired and laid low
Dominating, invincible
Blackout, loss of control
Overwhelming, unquenchable
                             Dm
I'm powerless, have to let go
 
 
[Verse 2]
I can't escape it
It leaves me frail and worn
Can no longer take it
Senses tattered and torn
C#m
   Hopeless surrender
Obsession's got me beat
Losing the will to live
                     Bm
Admitting complete defeat
 
 
[Verse 3]
Bm
  Fatal descent
Spinning around
I've gone too far
To turn back round
Dm
  Desperate attempt
Stop the progression
C#m
   At any length
Lift this obsession
 
 
[Chorus]
F#m                                                  E
   Crawling to my glass prison, a place where no one knows
F#m
   My secret lonely world begins
D F#m                                        E
     So much safer here, a place where I can go
F#m
To forget about my daily sins
Dm                                                    C
  Life here in my glass prison, a place I once called home
Dm
  Fall in nocturnal bliss again
Bb Dm                                              C
     Chasing a long lost friend I no longer can control
     Dm
Just waiting for this hopelessness to end
Bb D5 E5 C#5

Bm
Runfast from the wreckage of the past
A shattered glass prison wall behind me
Fightpast walking through the ashes
                  Bm
A distant oasis be
 
 
[Verse 5]
Bm
fore me
Crydesperate crawling on my knees
Begging god to please stop the insanity
Help meI'm trying to believe
Stop wallowing in my self pity
"We've been waiting for you my friend
The writing's been on the wall
All it takes is a little faith
                            C#m
You know you're the same as us all"
 
 
[Chorus]
                              E   C#m
Help meI can't break out this prison all alone
                        E   C#m
Save meI'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own
                  E   Bm
Heal meI can't restore
 
 
[Verse 6]
Bm
my sanity alone
Enter the door
Desperate
Fighting no more
Help me restore
To my sanity
At this temple of hope
I need to learn
Teach me how
Sorrow to burn
Help me return
To humanity
I'll be fearless and thorough
 
 
[Verse 7]
Bm   Bm
To enter this temple of hope
Believe
Transcend the pain
Living the life
Humility
Opened my eyes
This new odyssey
Of rigorous honesty
Serenity
I never knew
Soundness of mind
Helped me to find
Courage to change
All the things that I can
"We'll help you perform this miracle
But you must set your past free
You dug the hole, but you can't bury your soul
 
 
[Chorus]
 C#m
Open your mind and you'll see"
               E     C#m
Help meI can't break out this prison all alone
           E   C#m
Save meI'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own
       E Em

Bm      Asus2      G      E/G#
  can't restore my sanity alone
Bm     Asus2   G      Bm      Asus2
Way off     in the distance I saw  a door
G           E/G#
I tried to open 
        Bm     Asus2     G     Bm   Asus2         G
I tried forcing     with all of  my will but still
                  E/G#
The door wouldn't open
   Bm    Asus2     G     Bm              Asus2
Unable to     trust in my  faith I turned
G              E/G#
and walked away
         Bm     Asus2     G         Bm
I looked around,     felt a chill in  the air
Asus2        G             E/G#
Took my will and turned it over
    Bm          Asus2      G           Bm   Asus2
The glass prison     which once held me  is gone 
  G             E/G#
A long lost fortress
Bm      Asus2 G      Bm
Armed only with liberty
Asus2 G          E/G#   Bm  Asus2
And   the key of my  willingness
     G         Bm                Asus2    G
Fell down on my  knees and prayed     "Thy
     E/G#
will be  done"
Bm      Asus2 G                 E5
I turned     around, saw a light
