The Prisoner
*************************
i have no idea why i'm here
no charges were ever read
and, ...no..., i don't remember a trial
they just put me in this cell
with no number
turned out all the lights
and threw away the key
no one knows i'm here
do they feed you?
no, i eat the bugs that crawl across
my face
how do you get water?
there's a leaky pipe
i collect water in a rag and suck on that
if they fix it, i'm dead
is there any light?
no, i navigate by touch and sound
what about sanitation?
there's a hole in the floor
do you ever get to talk to anyone?
no, i'm all alone
by the way
who are you?
how did you find me?
i'm the voice inside your head
