Life is a prison
Life is a prison,
Oh God let me out,
No one to listen,
To hear when you shout,
Climb the walls of insanity,
Ride the waves of despair,
If you fall it dont matter,
No one to care,
Used to wish for a window,
To see the birds,trees and sky,
But your better without one,
Stop you aiming to high,
Watching freedom is painful,
For those locked away,
Seeing joy,love,and happiness,
Another price that you pay,
Strong is good,Weak is bad,
Be it false,Be it true,
Your mind makes the choice,
And inforces it too,
Cell walls built by society,
rules to adhere,
If you breech the acceptable,
You had better beware,
Hide the pain carry on,
Routine is the key,
Dont let on that your not,
What your pretending to be,
Lock it all up inside you,
How badly that bodes,
Look out for that one day,
When it all just explodes,
Leaving 'naught but a shell,
Base funcinality too,
But killing all else,
That was uniquely you,
So how do you grow,
With a time bomb inside?
Or how to defuse it,
Without destroying its ride?
You can't.
