Analysis of Lived

I lived by the needle
I lived by the pipe
I lived in the streets
I lived out of sight

I stood in the dark
I stood in the fire
I stood all alone
I stood for my desire

My heart had turned cold
My feelings numb
I was losing this battle
And then sum

I would talk to angels
But listen to demons
Strapping on liquid cuffs
While praying for freedom

I would cry every night
But no tears would fall
I had so much
And then lost it all

I was truly on my own
Everyone disappeared
No family no friends
It's what I always feared

So I lived
while slowly dying
Praying for wings
Dreaming of flying

Until I searched
Deep inside and
 found my lost soul
This I could no longer hide

Then I stood tall
Heartbroken and bruised
And walk towards the angels
Where my soul could be finally soothed
