Hold On Tight

Feel the space, it’s subtly speaks Whispering to me to just embrace But it’s so cold, I can't see my way Wondering free, seeking something to grasp I lost my balance many years ago I tripped and tumbled into this spell With trance like motions going through life Feeling nothing inside and wondering how The experience of life has not been so nice But hush little girl, don’t let them know If they see what it’s done you’ll just regret You’ll be locked up, and really be left People will look and see what they want Which is only the surface song and dance Covering my wounds, so they’ll go away Ignoring the infection which begins to swell Why free this heart from my prison When each attempt brings a little more terror It’s filling with pus and maggots now Soon enough it will all be gone
