Trapped in a cage, no escape. Tears beneath the skin.
Ceaseless pain. Lord show me the light. Help to release me.
Is Heaven real? It is dark down here. Savior, do prayers reach you?
Are you there? Is it dust to dust? Either way it will end.
Have I failed you? To have honesty. I am trapped yet again.
Am I speaking to the air? If there are ears, does the owner care?
