Locked Away

Minute by minute hours turn to days
But nothing really matters when you're locked away
No daylight comes to those inside
Just darkness all around us
Can words help me to escape?
Are they the key to my freedom?

Darkness in the dungeons of my mind
Haunting faces and spiders webs
Fill my mind and my body through
There's nothing left to do
For me and you

Find the key, unlock the door
Reality awaits my entrance
In the recesses of my mind
Safety is a way of life
Yet terror follows close behind
Just waiting for me to break
To take my mind away

Flashing bright are neon lights
Reality taken over
My body's weak, my mind is his
I don't have the strength to fight him off
To send him back
To whence he came
Nothing stays the same

Soon he gets tired and locks the door
Of the dungeon they call my mind
Once so eager and now just dead
No thoughts, no words, no rhymes
I'm trapped inside, locked away
No one listens, no one cares
No one even dares
