Mental Penitentiary

Part of a world
So few others know
Consciousness smothers
Unable to show
Trapped with my mind
Can't breathe nor see
Succumb to my penitentiary

Longed for freedom
Obnoxious to me
Perennial within purgatory
Strength to persevere grows weak
A tired, empty soul
Clouds turn dark as angels weep
I am in no control

Nothing matters, all is naught
Myself I can't redeem!
Wasted time on worthless thoughts
Agonized by dreams
Myself as my companion leads me
Through the darkest hour
Blitheness something unbeknownst
All simpers got devoured

Trapped
Inside
An endless void in which I will be losing my mind
No trust
No guide
No one to help me through this living hell I must subside

Compulsive endless lunacy
A mental penitentiary

Days go by
Myself a vice
Relentless menace
In disguise
Manacled between 4 walls
Traumatized
None hear my calls

A cipher no one dares a gaze
On his way through this endless maze
I atone for my iniquities for things I've never done
Right is wrong and wrong is right
Where do I belong?

Trapped
Inside
An endless void in which I will be losing my mind
No trust
No guide
No one to help me through this living hell I must subside

Unchallenged hate in a critical phase
Subjugated, dejected, a desperate case
A life forlorn behind those bars
Still I reach out to the stars
Forth comes the anger led by uncertainty
Trust is a matter insubstantial to be
Unknown when this journey ends
A voyage that got out of hand

The curse of hope will never die
The bitter reality impregnated by lies
Every night's an unknown trip until the crack of dawn
Mournful, hopeless, entirely withdrawn

Longing for more
Efforts in vain
Stricken down as madness prevails
No reason remains to pretend
Silence specifies the end

Infected by insanity
My peace of mind has ceased to be
Compulsive endless lunacy
A mental penitentiary
A mental penitentiary
