My Mind

My mind is that room in your house  
The door has been locked for years  
You haven’t dared open it up yet  
You aren’t ready to face your fears  

Cause the room is all padded  
And the lights no longer work  
If thoughts were scribbled on the wall  
It’s where all my demons would lurk  
 
My mind is that haunted old school  
Way back when, we might have learned  
But you take your friends out for a look  
Not knowing what dark spirits may churn  
 
All the floorboards still creak  
A chill may even run up your spine  
I wouldn’t advise for the feint of heart  
But my demons live here just fine  
 
My mind is that burned down asylum  
Many broken souls have passed through  
You might want a peak just for kicks but  
You won’t come back, even if you’re dared to
 
It’s been years and it’s still twisted  
Much like the minds that ambled before  
But if you made it this deep into my mind  
Then you may like what I have in store
