Hold Her Captive Forever


The concept is flawed 
The picture is distored 
The girl is broken 
Damaged goods 
No one gives a damn 
Drop to your knees 
Head foward 
Hands behind your back 
Options that define 
Everything your not 
No time to stop 
No time to question 
Times up 
Now you have 
Become Her 
Give up now 
Now is too late 
The spirals spin 
Back in place 
Somewhere 
Time stands still
Somewhere 
The Horizon is not Invisible 
And the light is visible 
And hope has not yet died
But inside of me it is dead 
Ashamed, I stand with no 
dignity or purpose 
The rememberance of my 
past used to give me pleasure
But now it gives me pain 
Because now I know 
What I have become today 
And the idea of it should never 
be set free. 
Hold Her captive forever.
