Ok everyone another song insipred poem. This one is "My Own Prison", by Creed. Its from the first album, "My own Prison". Probaly their best by far. Enjoy.

              "MY OWN PRISON"
"The walls are cold and pale
the cage made of steel"
holds me closed away
My eyes dart back and forth
scanning this wide cell
"Screams fill the room alone
I drop and kneel"
I don't care for my dignity
I scream, scream
Howling in pain
Throwing decorum out of my life
"Silence now the sound my breath
the only motion around"
Do you wish me to cry in my pain
will it help you understand?
Will you let me go?
I can hear only my shallow breath
"Shackled by my sentence
expecting no return"
I'm sorry
I do not want to understand
I can feel the heat
the fever against my skin
Perhaps I will die before this
pain turns me delirious
"So I held my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside"
I do not care for this cage!
You dirty animals!
Leave me be!
I cannot see through this thick
darkness
I cannot feel in this light
"Should have been dead on a Sunday
morning banging my head"
but I'm not
"I've created my own prison"

Regina


Its garbage i know. Didnt do jusitce to the song.

Sandpaper tears corrode the filth,
And I need you now somehow." --Silverchair
