Twisted

Darkness surrounds me but the sun is shining bright In this land of twisted madness It’s hard to tell day from night When your mind is full of twisted memories And a heart so torn you can’t get up from your knees How do you escape, how do you get out? Screams are all in vain There’s no one to hear you shout Crying until your eyes are as dry as the desert sand You search and search for one kind hand Three steps forward, kicked twelve back The blank hole in your heart leading this attack Try and try but you can’t keep up Somehow nothing is ever enough The rabbit hole is turning darker More evil, insane, and rough You’re in an ongoing battle Just to stay alive So like a coward you must run and hide Stand up straight and mask and plastic smile Maybe you can slip through to the other side Where they hide the real smiles.
