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
