A Tainted Mind

This dreary darkness
Is so bright it's blinding
This bottle of pills
Is forever reminding

Grasping for sanity
Paranoia setting in
This white straight jacket
Is my new second skin

These curtains of depression
Block out all the light
This unknown enemy
Is one I can't fight

Crowded in an empty room
Alone on a busy street
Running away to no where
Freezing in this burning heat

Chained to the shadows
Drowning in darkness
Screaming in silence
I'm trapped in a tainted mind...
