Repressed
Your laughter mocks the expression on your face
Your thoughts twist slowly into words
You’d be better off with the needle
Better off with a room and a mirror
Strapped to your sanity
It seems we’ve lost again
A game with no rules
And no room to play
Destroy me again
I love the pain you send through my body
Concrete doesn’t hurt so much
As the times you give to me to breathe
Strapped to your sanity
It seems we’ve lost again
A game with no rules
And no room to play
Every ounce of rage
Concealed in a twitch
Just under the eye
But deep within my soul
Diseased by disdain
Sinister desperation in the laughter
Of these children locked inside
A daycare with barred windows
Strapped to my sanity
Pillows on the walls
I’ve found a subtle comfort in lunacy
When there are no rules to this game we play
