Four Corners
Surrounded, boxed in
At all four corners.
Nothing new ever comes
And nothing good ever stays.
You have me trapt here
Thinking along I won't survive.
Pacing and nervous
I live off your words.
Bring me down just to
Keep me here and one day
I won't be able to stay.
Caged and confused
I hope your amused
Cause this is the last
I'll stand it!
Bumping my head and
Cutting my heart
You'll never keep me here!
The longer I stay
The older I grow
The more hate I feel for you.
The bitter nights and
The never ending days
Keep me insane in this place.
Every corner cut and
Every edge defined
I will not stay a prisoner
In this cell of the mind!
