The Self Help Group needles

Hiding these words
If they find them
Then I will be gone
Oh, how these words
Serve to hold back the madness
That comes
Needles and thread
and the words
that I've hidden in sight
I walked with souls
Wracked with pain
Though their voices still sing
Shuffling on
In our chains
Do they know where we've been?
Are the walls closing in?
I feel that I might be losing my mind
Looking up weary eyes
See that canopy
We call the sky
I am a captive
But I will resist
At all cost
Give them an inch
And then all that we've won
Will be lost
