To this life I am bound,

As my mind gets tossed around.

All these wounds upon my heart,

Will scar in time and make their mark.

I feel so trapped inside my thoughts,

Like an invisible cell where I've been caught.

A slave I've become to all my dreams,

A master I am to this painful scheme.

In my thoughts I look behind,

And see the things that came unwind.

In my dreams I look ahead,

Alone I stand with hopes I've been fed.

I know not where I'll go from here,

Or how much more this life will bring me tears.

But there's one thing I know for sure,

And in that knowledge is the cure.

Only I can free this slave,

And only I can dig his grave.
