Prisoner

In a blameless culture
I have myself to thank
For the lack of feeling in my heart
It’s like a solitary confinement in my head
I’m all alone with my thoughts
I’m haunted by the silence

I’m a prisoner without escape
I built the walls that keep me in
I’m a prisoner and yet my cell
It grows smaller every day
I need help
Need something to ground me
Something firm under my feet
I need help
Need someone to ground me
Someone to start my life again

Innocence and sanitised actions
Have left me needing
Stronger doses of calm
Numbing
Creeping
Life waits for no man and
The clock is ticking

I’m a prisoner without escape
I built the walls that keep me in
I’m a prisoner and yet my cell
It grows smaller every day
I need help
Need something to ground me
Something firm under my feet
I need help
Need someone to ground me
Someone to start my life again

I’m a prisoner without escape
I built the walls that keep me in
I’m a prisoner and yet my cell
It grows smaller every day
I need help
Need something to ground me
Something firm under my feet
I need help
Need someone to ground me
Someone to start my life again
