• Shackled against the wall
    The haunting chatter of links
    Clashing into one another
    Screaming for my restraint

    Stay against the wall, they say
    Whispering into each other's ear
    We control you now.
    The cries of desperation heighten
    Into a climactic thrash
    Beyond the worlds of strength
    And understanding

    Flames of terror and anger
    Scorching and melting away
    The chains which hold me back
    From my potential

    That fiery spark
    Remains unextinguished
    To this very day

    And I still hear a ghostly echo
    Which trembles all
    Who are unlucky enough to notice

    Go back, go back, we must hold you
    Back against the wall
    Forever

    Months and years have passed
    Since that breakaway occurred
    And my smile crashes into the floor
    With a stark epiphany

    All this time...
    We were protecting you...
