Oh, how I’ve pleaded for liberation
I’ve smashed my head against the prison bars
I screamed bloody murder day and night
To at last be set free
And finally
At long last
My prayers were answered
A shrouded figure comes
With a key
And unlocks the cell
Easy as that.
With the door wide open, however,
I’m terrified
I back away
And lean against the wall
I plead for them to close it
But the figure disappears
I keep looking over
To see the cell wide open
Frightened more and more by the sight
I close my eyes and leap into an artificial night
The surety of these walls are all I need! They’re all I need!
The cold ground is preferable to that beating Sun outdoors!
Nothing can hurt me in here
