Trouble Mind

twisted tunnels overlap deep into the shadows rocks like diamonds emit twinkles of light embedded on it's sides this labyrinth of hollow space glimmers a promise of escape keep going down ascend up, too narrow as the gap closes listen to your heart feel your breath crawl on knees claw with fingers where is this what is this why is this am I dead and buried am I closed within a dream distant is a slimmer of light beckon of hope shiver of survival whisper of eternity open the mind by shutting the eyes beneath you the earth shakes and cracks the world collapses into darkness eyes blink rapidly throat swallows hard arms reach up voice screams screams screams sit up and lay back down night sweats sweetly on a trouble mind
