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
