Opening Lyrics:
Thought I found a way out (found)
But you never go away (never go away)
So I guess I gotta stay now
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can’t find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can’t fight my fear
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home
