The Prison of the Soul

The Prison Of The Soul

We each must face are chief aim to come
 We run & hide just to protect away are fun
 The sign on the road read stop yet we kept going
 We each seek pleasure out of things that don't please
 A sermon may soon deliver yet doesn't knock you to your knees
 There's a fine line between heaven & hell
 A word of truth to be able to tell
 The prison of the soul starts in the heart
 We watch Hollywood to see where we need to start
 Mental illness is nothing in which to play with
 A sorted breach of security that one could give
 There is much torment in the fragmentation of the mind
 For many once could see yet for now their blind
 The casualties are enormous for a stated cause that's plain atrocious
 I cried out to God in search for his direction
 The crowd of the noise polution hits heavy in crazy ways
 In mere solace we long for a parting quest
 To help end the inner torment of suffering amidst the pain
 Heavy explosive words can leave you feeling helpless & uneasy
 Stick close to loved ones and family amidst every tragic circumstance
 We all must overcome to take part in the dance
