I'm trapped inside, a silent hell,
I cannot hide, I cannot tell.
My days are lost, my nights are bleak,
I'm filled with frost, a frozen freak.

"I'm in a cage, I cannot leave,
My future's vague, I cannot grieve.
The walls are high, the ceiling low,
I've lost my cry, I cannot grow.

"I try to speak, but words won't flow,
My voice is weak, I cannot grow.
My mind is blank, my thoughts are slow,
I feel no rank, I'm lost in woe.

"I'm trapped in fear, I cannot move,
My future's clear, it's hard to prove.
The path is lost, the way is gone,
My life is tossed, I've lost my dawn.

"My eyes are blind, my ears are dumb,
I cannot find, I cannot come.
The light is dim, the night is deep,
I have no whim, I cannot leap.

"My world is bleak, I cannot see,
There's no more speak, it's history.
My heart is mute, my mind is mute,
There's no pursuit, it's absolute.

"My eyes are blind, my mind is numb,
I feel unkind, I am become.
My hope is lost, my future's gone,
I cannot boast, I am undone.

"My life is dim, my light is low,
I feel no whim, I feel no flow.
My days are lost, my nights are spent,
I have no cross, no more lament.
