Prisoner of the Mind

Imprisoned in my own mind Give anything to bind time Trapped in the present While trying to forget the past Future is approaching faster Then it’s going to last Anger rising over its potential Sadness taking its heed If only time would just stop And give me a second to breath No one truly understands The type of prison I’m in How I’m surrounded by gates Longing for the outside but can’t escape Time is my enemy But in a way my friend Because in time I know this torture will end If only I could erase those lies Turn left instead of right I would be at peace in my mind Instead of fighting nightmares at night And having walls block my sight Closing in Destroying any and every type of life Except me I just sit alone unable to breath Or see Or think Chains on my hands and feet Feeling nothing but defeat I let my music take me to sleep For it’s my only chance for peace Where my mind is temporarily free
