Hostage to the rescue
Murky, elsewhere
The only thing you would stare
Vision? Twisted
And never been intoxicated
That bouncy heart never quits
It keeps rattling the ribs
"Make it out alive, you freak!"
But you couldn't make a tread
Abducted, trapped in your head
Those butterflies start to spin
'round your head in turn
On the moment you notice
"Man, I'm going nuts"
"Help!" you shriek
With all the oomph of your gut
But you were running in circles
No one came to cut you loose
Hearing only your echoes
As you're trapped in your own abyss
Where no one sees
