Locked Away

its just a black whole yet its pulling me deeper there is no way to escape I'm just another permanent keeper so i give it what i got and i try to fight i try and try with all my might it all ends the same I'm not strong enough to fight in the far distance i see a bright light but its just false tormenting sight I'm pulling myself together then its blowing me apart faster than a speeding bullet or a tranquilizing dart there trying to get me through it but its making me worse i feel so alone and it makes me feel cursed my pulse is getting stronger death is quick but wont stop to wonder the pain it causes like loud thunder it screams in sight but leaves children to ponder i start to fall deeper and deeper and it gets me feel weaker my heart and lungs moving faster and faster yet my suffering just keeps getting longer and longer i feel my sanity seeping from my grip i try to reach it but my soul starts to rip all this pressure my knees start to buckle and here i am a one-man shuttle I'm zooming out of reach of my sanity and sight of it makes me feel more and more panicky but my head is held high and i cant admit defeat even when the blood of an innocent starts to leak I'm trapped in here with noway out and there all out there trying to break me out heart cant take the pain and starts to crumble my feet cant move so instead i stumble I'm locked in yet i feel locked out my heart and soul it starts to shout then i see the knife like the glorious sun my chance to get out its my my only one i held the sharp metal to my skin my life flashes before my life full of sin i wake up now and I'm breathing quite fast people they fall and shatter beyond repair but we don't go near not even for a dare its not our business so we leave it alone even if its us that can finally bring them home. the day now breaks in to the early morn just a dream i think as a look at the dawn they fort to guarantee that you may survive like spider webs suck with the desperate flies it's enough to cause your soul could rip like a barely young adult being stripped
