The Escape From Hell


Lay down your head.

Take a bow.

Tears stream out.

No time to shout.

Had enough.

Thay take it all.

Laugh at your failure,

While you hide in your walls.

The story of your life,

Written in the calls.

Life about to fall,

Not prepared for the brawl.

Drown in your sorrow,

Slip in your fears,

Not strong enough to face,

A whole lifetime of yers.
