Life Inside



There's no place to hide, life inside within;
Nobody to talk to, just maybe a whim;
Little space to move, watching for a rat;
There's someone at my window, just imagine that;
Doors are all locked, there's just no place to go;
Feeling safe and cozy, freakish don't you know;
Comedy and laughter, they just don't exist;
Hatred and belligerant, I just can't resist;
Giving up the foreway to anyone out there;
Leaving my upheavel, I can't help but care;
Being where I am, maybe one of kind;
Perhaps I'll just remain, deep inside my mind.
