Interior Confinement

I hold myself in disdain
I don't give a fuck
I've got nothing to hide
No one understands
A part of me has died

Utopia rejected on Earth that's hell
My mind is lonely, no different from a cell
My body is sick, which I can't leave behind
What will it take to medicate the mind

Exit the womb to a tomb
Can't adjust
Alone in my room
Depend on my departed friend
Not remembering
How long has it been
If there's one thing I've learned
Comfort cannot be found
Nowhere to grow
Nobody's fault but mine
Painfully existing alone
Infinite incarceration

You have to lose so much to find your heart
Even your innocence
Thinking back as a kid
What being alone did
It’s not so pretty now
That's where addiction was found
I'd burn those houses down
Into a hole in the ground
And I'd burn them down again
And I'd make it evident
With satisfaction just to laugh at the fucking flames

Now as I'm older and wiser
I've worked out my mistakes
I made sure that my past is left behind
No one knows how much the mind can take
