Trapped
I wonder why it is
That I cannot be free.
Because of all this anger
That is still inside of me.
I feel it is a prison
Deep within my soul.
The bars, they all surround
Me and the atmosphere is
Cold.
A tiny cell I'm trapped in
With no way to escape.
No windows to bring light
in... just darkness every day.
Darkness is the only friend
I've ever known.
The only friend I have here
Within these prison walls.
Sometimes it does get lonely,
But it never lets me down.
Darkness never leaves me...
So I never feel abandoned...
I never feel alone.
I wish there was a way, though,
That I could just get out.
Break free from all the anger...
All the loneliness and doubt.
Find my way to sunshine...
To the person I once was.
To the time when I was free...
When I was happy... when I was
Well !
