I had this dream
I was locked in a cage
The bars were razor sharp
And I tried to escape

The steel tore open my skin
Open cuts dripping blood
Mixing with my tears
The pool, coloured like mud

Blood pouring out
But I don't care
Tears draining out
But it doesn't matter

Red light shines sudden
And a screaming wail
Shatters my existence
Steel slivers hit like hail

My life in exchange
For failing you again
My death all for you
I am to blame

The claim
To fame
Came
With shame
Regrets are vain
I'm not the same
The burning flame
Life complete drain
All I gain
All the strain
I have lain
Burning rain
Leaves a stain
The choking chain
I feel no pain
Completely insane
Left dead with no name
