Life is a prison,
Oh god, let me out.
No one to listen,
To hear when you shout.
Climb the wall of insanity,
Ride the waves of despair.
If you fall, it doesn't matter,
There is no one to care.
I used to wish for a window,
To see the birds, trees and sky,
But you're better off without one -
Stops you from aiming too 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 enforces it too.
Cell walls build by society
With rules to adhere.
If you breach the acceptable,
You had better beware.
Hide the pain, carry on,
Routine is the key.
Don't let on that you're not,
What you're 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 functionality too.
But killing all else
That was uniquely you.
So, how do you grow,
With a time-bomb inside?
Or how do you defuse it,
Without destroying its ride?
You can't!
