I got locked up With golden chains Like links from the sun During thunderous rains And I kept snippets From the shell That encased me In a kind of hell With the girl that screamed (She was on drugs) Or the friend I kept Giving surreptitious hugs Coz I mean it so When I say I won’t let go But I saw desperation In her eyes And if it’s cloudy Are there still skies As everything screams It’s own refrain And I try to hold What causes me pain But it’s a shard of glass Sent in the post And it’s been so long Since I last saw your ghost Wandering the halls of a vice Everyone was super nice But I’m trapped in a wall And it’s like no one cares at all As I fight to get out To see the dubious look Of a man in doubt
