Mind's Entrapment

I pray for night to take it's toll,

So I can leave this entrapment,

This human mortal penitentiary

A curse to stay here,

Every hour, every day,

The cycle that ends only brings on more pain,

This life I have chosen, what good did it bring? 

This life I have lived, what song did it sing?

A poor and wishful prayer for death,

A dark symphony of screams and tears,

These four walls, confining me,

Hiding me from the true world,

Cradling me, in a bed of lies, 

Only at night, I briefly get away,

To the truth, until the break of day,

And once again, you come to see me,

Pretending to be

What you want me to see,

But you don't know I figured you out,

You don't know i'm onto you, 

Get away!

Or I'll slash, I'll bleed you throughout 

But no one will hear me in this dream,

I realize now this place is my entrapment,

It is my mind, my worst fear,

to be caged, wings and innocence ripped away,

Whisked from my dream into the endless night, consumed by flames,

I watch with breath drawn,

Smothered in the washing waves of everlasting immunity,

But then I awaken, to the nightmare of life,

And once again, 

Watch myself

Die, drowning in your lies.
