My Mind

A cool and dungy place
A dark and filthy place is mine
An ugly place is my mind

It feels not
Nor cares not
For all the things I hold dear

It sees not
Nor shares not
For all the things that are real

Oh what an dark dungy place
A filthy dirty place is here

No light does it see
No sound can it hear
Only the ideas that it brings
It considers are true

The lies
The mistakes of the past
Are what it can only understand

Oh what an dark dungy place
A filthy dirty place is here

Curse the thoughts there of
Erase them I plea
Truly a damned place I possess
 
A prison I have found
No escape can I find
From this dungy dirty place
Which be my own mind
