FOUR WALLS

I feel like I’m a lion tranquilized, taken out of the jungle

Forced into a cage looking for a way to escape

I find it hard to relate, my environment is changed

I’m a man deranged living in the land of the strange

Trapped in a mind prison, nobody listens

Surrounded by four walls, a bed and a pot to piss in

My energy’s drained; I’m starving again, an animal chained

And I’m forced to use force to combat the pain

My shadow is my companion. I’m standing alone in a room

With no one to talk to. Tell me what’s happening

Lost all track of time; I can’t tell if it’s night or day

I look at the ceiling while I get down on my knees and pray

There’s got to be a better way! Spirits help me!

There’s nothing to eat, I ain’t sleeping and it ain’t healthy

I’m trapped and I won’t survive if I don’t adapt in this habitat

I’m a prisoner losing the plot, going mad.

And I refuse to retire to the thought that this was meant to be

Think back to the days when I was thinking straight mentally

My dad told me on his death bed you create your own destiny

Satan! I know you’re listening, stop testing me!

I don’t belong here; case of mistaken identity

You imprisoned the wrong person. Is this the end for me?

These walls that surround me could potentially be the death of me

But I refuse to quit till I breathe the last breath in me

I can feel it, there’s a strong force protecting me,

An angel that was sent down from the heavens to connect with me

Eventually you won’t have to pretend to be something that you ain’t

Swallow your pride while you drown in the intensity

At the start of the century a spirit came to me

And told me to believe in me and a stranger would eventually rescue me

And permanently break down the walls of this mind penitentiary

And at the end an unstoppable character would represent me

It’s hard to tell and even harder to excel

But it’s heart felt and it’s hell when you’re stuck inside of a cell

It’s just you and your thoughts, four walls and no windows

And no doors designed so a rebel can’t rebel

Your mind plays tricks. You start seeing things

You ain’t as focussed as you were when once you were a king of kings

Now you’re a broken man coz once upon a time you were an outspoken man

That couldn’t see eye to eye with the feeding hand

You’re damned! It’s like you’re stuck inside of a can

And it’s almost impossible to escape coz that’s their plan

But I’m a fighting surviving man with lightning flying out of

My hands to rip apart the walls of this concrete can

My escape is inevitable and with the help of the Gods and

The angels and the spirits the force we are is indelible

These walls will no longer be a burden now that they’re broken down

Shine the lights in my direction and raise the curtains.
