When I wake up

I see myself trapped inside

With head in hands, I swallow my pride

And everyday, I do the same rites

Reaching out to break through this cage

The disgust, it seeps through my skin

But within, it grips at my mind

As I settle in, and walk the steps of this dance

Driven, by the whip that bleeds

Lead: Cozens

Lies are given, time is stolen,

my patience reduced to nothing

These fools, get under my skin

feast like leeches

I'm tempted to open my veins

Thrown away another day

It compliments to nothing

Words can't express all I have to say

This is just a piece of my insanity

Who I am, where I roam

in this cell block crazed home

Detained lashing out I vent my rage

The creature within us cannot be contained

A million bystanders fall into this stage

There is no chance of winning this race

Look into the eyes of the enemy

Reflections in the mirror so clear

Contemplate your own self inside out

Listen to the voices of reason

Shatter the image of the broken one

We fall into denial
