Letmego


Letmego You conflict and inflict me. You suppress and depress me. Let me out. Surprise me and lie to me, Say I am not the warden. Not the prisonee, but prisoner. Lie to me, sway me, With your sweet lies and lullabies. It is not my fault I have no control Let me out. Let me blame my predecessors not me. Those that came before me messed it up I can do no wrong. I can just sit in my cage and complain Let me out Lie to me, sing to me Tell me it was not my fault. For I could not see What was in front of me Why didn't I open my eyes? Lie to me Tell me my remedy Who could see the damage I would cause The walls I've built. Carefully, brick by brick. The door I've locked. The key is in my pocket. I'm holding the mirror in my hand. In this cage of mine.
