The Invisible Prison
I feel like everyone
Is around me
There just adding bricks
Building walls around me
Covering me up
Taking away the light
Restricting where I can go
What I can do
Who I can see
For who they are
What I can think
For my own sake
They say they care
They say its for my own good
They say everyone needs this
They say I should want this
But I want the light
I want my freedom
I want to burn out
Because I lived
Because I loved
Get your eyes off your death
Stop building my tomb
I don't need anyone's eyes
Not from an imaginary god
Not from my own imagination
And not from from someone else
Someone that hasn't been here much longer than I
When it's compared to the life of the universe
I want to get out of this tomb
Out of this mind
Out of this life
Off of this planet
And past our star
And live with the others
I'll just hold my breath,
And jump.
