Alone, Alone, ~0~
Isolated, in the cell, ~1~ Padded walls, for my confort ~2~ Alone, Alone,~3~ Alone, Alone, I scream and scream, ~4~ But all is silent ~5~ Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone, I fight and fight, ~6~ But my jacket is just to tight ~7~ Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone, The stench of rotting flesh, ~8~ The taste of bitter sweet sweat ~9~ Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone, Forever I shall lay, ~10~ Until my very last day ~11~ Alone, Alone.~12~ But wait, whats that? ~13~ A light from behind the door ~14~ Voices and footsetps loud and clear ~15~ Hope arises from the pit of my soul ~16~ The freedom bell rings its toll~17~ Then, a dim realization ~18~ Silence, the bell stops ringing ~19~ Silence, my heart stops pounding ~20~ Silence, then a single hollow click ~21~ The door opens, and freedom waits...~22~ A faint odor ~23~ The dream now over ~24~ The darkness back ~25~ My cell intact~26~ Alone, alone, ~27~ Again...~28~
