Optimist About This

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
