Trapped

I'm trapped

In a love that is so wonderful and perfect

its not real nor does it exist.

i'm trapped inside my mind and heart and soul

for they hold the Beatles and all of my favorite songs.

I'm trapped

inside on a rainy day

because you know the sound of the water hitting the ground

is one of the most beautiful melodies to my ears, its true.

i'm trapped because i want to be

because the moaning coming from your room tells me to be, i think.

i think, therefor i am, therefore i feel, therefor i writhe in pain,

like the little girl saying Daddy please don't go, don't leave me, please no.

I'm trapped because i think if i stay the exact same you'll wake up and realize that you want me,

the way i was back when you needed me,

back when you loved me,

back before she was around.

like i said, i'm trapped

trapped inside this mind that only deals in make believe and fantasies,

Cinderella stories and snow white because you know they all got their prince.

trapped inside my carriage on the way to the ball because my fairy god mother forgot to give me a handle, on life.

an escape route, a way out, a pause button,

so that when life just gets too hard to handle, i can breathe.

theres a sign on my wall that says one way, one way in, one way out

one way to misery and boy do i know that path like the back of my hand

it leads straight to your front door,

which consequently happens to be home.

i'm trapped inside my room thats right next to yours for we share

a hallway and a bathroom, and a kitchen and a living room,

physically, of course not emotionally.

trapped inside a relationship but i cant tell him the truth

for that would compromise my ability to be honest

and full disclosure is a must.

trapped inside my imagination that plays movies in my head

like all the remakes of Shakespeare's greatest,

only you **** me in the end.

trapped inside this body that is nothing more than a product of my feelings,

i used to be thin, i swear.

trapped at the bottom of this bottle for that is what i turn to every weekend

when you sneak off with her.

i'm trapped in a corner with my head between my knees

thinking, what else could i possibly do.

i'm trapped inside this hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with an incurable disease,

they call it love.

trapped inside these restraints, my hands and feet, and tongue, for i cannot tell you the truth.

now you're trapped inside the waiting room

with mourning loved ones and horrible coffee

awaiting the fate of a truly terrible friend.

i'm trapped inside the thought that you think i was only there because i was in love with you,

well....

its not true, you were my best friend and i was yours and ****** we were good together.

i'm trapped because i know i will never survive

but you, you were always so much stronger than me

i know you'll be fine,

so you can call it, time of death: 1:29.
