I punch the walls but they don’t move
I look through the windows but I see black
I hear voices on the other side
Are they talking to me?

Why is the floor so grey?
Why can’t I hear the words they say?
Why are the lights so dim?
What did they trap me in?

Your lies are so thick
They created these dark bricks
Your words were so wired
The created this prickly fence
And I shield myself with hope
But only as self defence

One candle in the middle of the room
The only thing to provide light
But the wind that blows through these bars
Gives me quite a fright

The fire flickers as I shiver
The cold runs through my veins
The candle for some reason, lacks the heat
To take away my pain

My lips are chapped as I wonder
Who watched behind the walls
And just before I slip unconscious
A small voice gives a call

Whispers gently, gives me faith
The voice echoes in my head
Tells me my path, as if fate
I listened to what it said

My strength comes back as just a last resort
Come to break out only because I had support
I tip over the candle and let the ground burn
I let the warmth fill the skin that yerns

I punch the walls, and now they melt
For once it feels the fire I felt
I break it down hoping to find, the person that stands behind
The master plan, the top shot man, one whom which I understand

To be the one who locked me up
But freed me all the same
But I can hold a lasting grudge
For he is who I blame

I wrap my burning arms around him
To thank him but burn him still
For I love him for teaching me these things
But the fire I bare will kill

So thank you, man behind the walls
But please die at my feet
For I love you like I love the skies
But I must clean my filthy sheet

Filled with jaged letters
Because of your common torture
The bricks didn’t hold me here
Why you spoke to me I’m not sure

For your voice was the one that gave me life
Gave me the strength to kill you so
I wonder what lesson you taught me and why
You decided to let me go

But thank you for locking me up
And saving me from the walls of myself, yourself
And then giving your purpose to fulfill my own
