Almost 5am
And I lie here awake
Waiting for the sun to rise
And brighten up the dark night skies
Seconds seem like hours, hours like days
Seems like night is here to stay
I toss and turn in my lonely bed
My eyelids full of lead
Every time I close my eyes I see my nightmare
Then I open my eyes and realize I'm already there
My own body, my prison
Family, the bars
Rodents, society
Dampness, my soul
Darkness, my mind
It's all my prison
Reality is my nightmare
When I close eyes I see myself there
Now I feel chained to the wall
Angry and frustrated
Can't move at all
The guard holds the key but he won't let me go
How I can escape I just don't know
