Prison of Desire

Folder: 
[2005] Melancholy

Sitting here on this lonely chair

Gazing at the darkened sky

Dreaming of what I long for

Slipping in a world unseen

Fantasy arises, with Desperation at her side

They enchant me and create delusions;

As I fall asleep I feel the pleasures of this dream



In this deadly prison I remain;

The feelings and desires, build up inside.

Slowly they creep my soul

And devour my deep within.

Confusion arises, with Misery at his side.

Both make me loose sense of reality

Bound by all the thoughts and desires.



In the prison of desire I remain

Keeping all the secrets deep within

I wish I could leave and explore

But these chains can’t be broken
