Lost Boy

Lost in a haze of drunken hate Who knew it would make me contemplate? Woke up in a white walled cage A half naked body decorated with wounds of frustrated rage Did not remember what I did that night So damn bitter sweet I came out all right Pain dripped from the cuts that bled But it kills me from the tears they shed Mutilated emotions and burnt words clot the cut ends Granted is what I took in exchange for my friends A state of no escape because all the bridges are black and chard I can not escape myself so freedom is something I just disregard It looks as if I am all alone again Burned another bridge and lost another friend Counted to much and held her to high Pushed to much thinking she could fly My friend fell down and I left her behind Denied I cared at all just to get her off my mind So now I am lost in a personal world of hate and rage A man walks freely but his mind is a locked cage
