black walls - leave me behind
eyes closed - mind wide awake
eaten and plagued by despair
begging for redemption meets with resistance
a story is told lasts - to read in your eyes
lived in the darkness - to the point of getting used to it
drenched in the sweat of fear - you are in danger of drowning
years pass by - they are worn like wounds on your skin
you are caught between delusion and reality
just a shadow of yourself
just an extra in your own life
