Years and Years inside a box Looking for a way to get out

Years and Years as a paradox Searching for a way to breakout

Years and Years as a chatterbox Hoping for a way to hideout

Asking for help to stop raising hell Embracing the pain to break the spell

At last I felt the light inside me Shining through my whole body

Thank God I found the light
