Nov 2014
I feel restless and empty
For the smiling faces around are plenty
But none of these faces send me
To the fields of feeling free

Trapped in a cage
Upon lifes grand stage
Only to rot away with age

Damaged and broken
My heart removed for a token
Never felt more awoken

They tear me apart with their masquerade
Deep into my mind they invade
Cutting it to pieces with a serenade
Then left like a stray dog I begin to fade
