Encased in iron How will I move? My will is held. "Save me from this fate You who hear and can help. Save me from this misery of non-being, Non contact, Non life..." ...I walk within To the shadow lands... What do I find? "Shhhh, shhh go to sleep... We will rip out your heart And you will feel nothing. Like a gloved hand you will feel nothing. Numb to existence You will be safe! Encased Inert This will be my gift to you." "But I do not want this gift! The price is too high What safety is this, free from life? I do not choose it. Perhaps some time ago it was chosen But now not. I wish for life, For feeling and emotion For contact and depth. Yes, it is not safe But it is life And I wish for it

Dragging me down
Encased in iron How will I move? My will is held. "Save me from this fate You who hear and can help. Save me from this misery of non-being, Non contact, Non life..." ...I walk within To the shadow lands... What do I find? "Shhhh, shhh go to sleep... We will rip out your heart And you will feel nothing. Like a gloved hand you will feel nothing. Numb to existence You will be safe! Encased Inert This will be my gift to you." "But I do not want this gift! The price is too high What safety is this, free from life? I do not choose it. Perhaps some time ago it was chosen But now not. I wish for life, For feeling and emotion For contact and depth. Yes, it is not safe But it is life And I wish for it
