Lyrics Captive - Gates

I cannot leave this place
Pining for what isn't mine
Held so long in these chains
Longing for the other side

Everybody meets their end
Waiting for the things they love to begin
So I will put this world to sleep
And I will not awake until I am free

While rapt in the safety of this dream
I'm everything I thought I could be
I break from the prison I've been in
And I find the love in me

But then I wake and nothing is real
Except the walls I can't escape
And the freedom I'll never feel
And I have lost everything
Hoping for a life that I'll never lead

I can't know the meaning of this life
I can't be the truth I've yet to find
I can't feel the love inside of me
Until I'm awake and I am free
And I am awake and I am free
