Analysis of Chocolate Bars



The bars in my mind
Claw out from a past
Like tormented shadows
Thee iron bars cast

When I close my eyes
I see bars in my head
Cold anger is kindled
In the vivid dark red

Evil possess thee iron
So I never feel alone
Evil lives in these bars
It bleeds from the stone

Blood stains stone walls
Dripping anger back
Bloody screams remain
My mind set to crack

Locks and keys
forsaken by time
Locks and keys
Cost of crime

As time moves on
So clearly I see
I need these bars
Bars comfort me

Locked in my bars
I have not a fear
Here's twisted strange
My bars hold me dear

I have no empathy
I know only hate
By year thirteen
Bars sealed my fate

Black is my heart
I've not love to give
Such is my life
Behind bars I must live

Dark stone and steel
Has twisted my soul
Too many lost years
Bars took their toll

Life behind bars
Comes with a cost
Time I have paid
Years I have lost

Bars are assembled
Caging animals like me
I'm a living nightmare
I'll never be free
