Facility

4/15/17


Skillfully
Snuck inside a facility
For better visibility

And to find something specific
Having to do with being monolithic
I can see them conducting experiments dubbed 'scientific'
But where is it?

Going door to door through corridors
From floor to floor
While exploring more

Later on got
To a room that was locked
And could not afford being caught

Eventually
Found a key
Helping me

Get through the locked room
And soon in a place new
Where it finally was in view
Was it all too good to be true?

The air was cold
Didn't listen to what I was told
Because I felt like I was on a roll
Quickly grabbed hold
But it peered back into my soul
And took control
Like one obsessed with gold
Next thing I knew, I woke up and was old

Had been in a coma for thirty eight years
And now here I appear
Talking to you loud and clear
