Boxed.

This house quivers and groans,

The blues cover the walls in different tones.

I sit in my room, in walls of paper

I bid on my life but I have no takers.

Who would want to live in a box?

Who would want holes in their socks?

And their necks in a chain

Tugged on by an old bitch with a cane?

Who would want worry on their brow?

And a future so bleak it hurts to gaze at, even now?

Who would trade their bed for a sheet?

Who would trade a full fridge for no food to eat?

Every minute a new nightmare breeds;

I feel that on my lack of sleep it feeds.

Oh, God, where are you?

Help me, or send some sort of queue!

For fuck's sake,

I'm sick of this smile I must fake.

I need sleep

Or none of my sanity I will keep...

I have faith but I need answers,

Please, don't make me a funny little dancer.

I want to be a person

But with the situation, my soul worsens.

To play nice I need a reason,

Or pile it on and I'll make it murder season.

I feel my panicked heart as it blackens.

Just hold my hand, whatever happens.

Don't go,

Even if you don't like the show.

I feel myself growing faint;

On my head a deep sleep I paint.

The stairs grow lengthy,

But it's okay, I have lived plenty.
