Trapped

Jail is for forever
No way to get out
except one way
Death is an escape route

There's a monster inside me
He looms there large and black
My soul is retreating
and never coming back

Depression has found me
it's eating me alive
My life's slowly growing smaller
and will never ever thrive

I'm stuck here forever.
It'll never let me out.
No matter how loud I keep shrieking,
No matter how long I shout
I'm only stuck until the key is used; the knife in my hand

I even tried to tell you
of my lonesome bitter dread
Did you not listen
or are your ears full of lead?

My soul is growing tired;
I'm becoming much too sad,
But don't worry,
When I die, it won't be so bad.
