The murmurs of the crowd grow ever louder

A dull roar pounding in my ears drowns me out

I scream in silence

Another faceless form

No identity remains

Set up for failure from the start

Pressured and molded into your image

Strip me down

My last chance at freedom

Slipping so far away

A dim shadow swallows me whole

Am I condemned to watch my true self die?

My spirit cries out for salvation

I won't yet admit defeat
