trapped inside, i don't even recognize the sky anymore
and anxiety consumes me as i pace pathways in the floor
i spent all my energy chasing down my thoughts, when i let my mind roam
so i sit imprisoned by my self, wasting away in the purgatory of my home
but there are moments in life, that you just have to live through
i write mine in this book of shame so i can try and explain them to you
because this world is a confusing place and of that there is no doubt
but life was meant for so much more than wearing your carpet out
the barb wire fence that protects my soul is my smile
answers are irrelevant, so questions become futile
because indifference and apathy are all i have to report
so days seem so long, even though lives are short
and long ago, innocence was something i willingly gave away
and with every sin, the farther and farther i stray
i stare at the sky, and look for guidance from above
i strip myself to have sex because i'm full of love
then i stare at the ground, as i try and accept my fate
and i fuck like a beast because i'm really full of hate
the concept of heaven and hell, some people just can't conceive
as i look at the letters above my door frame that spell out the word believe
but the filth in this world is something i know that you can see
and i know there is a hell, because God would never create a creature like me
