BEING LOST AND ALONE
IN THIS ASYLUM OF PAIN,,,
BECOMING EMOTIONALLY DEAD
BUT TRYING TO STAY SANE,,,

NEVER SEEING A SETTING SUN
OR A CLEAR BLUE SKY,,,
NEVER KNOWING THE ANSWER
OR THE REASON WHY,,,

I'M STRUGGLING DAILY
INSIDE THIS OLE CAGE,,
WITH THESE MIXED EMOTIONS
ESPECIALLY MY RAGE,,,

WONDERING IF I'LL EVER
BECOME A FREE MAN,,
FROM THE THINGS THAT
HOLD ME INSIDE THESE WALLS,,,

MAYBE ONE OF THESE DAYS
THE CHANCE WILL ARRIVE,,,
AND THE TEARS I CRY
WILL BECOME DRY,,,

THESE ARE JUST DREAMS
THAT RUN THROUGH MY MIND,,,
AND BEFORE THEY'RE FULFILLED
I'LL PROBABLY BE DEAD AND GONE,,,,

BUT UNTIL THAT DAY
WHEN THEY SET ME FREE,,
MY HEART WILL HOPE
UNTIL I REST IN PEACE,,,,
