Emergency exit Glowing softly green in the black room Full of madness, inexplicable pain Nameless emotions All without foothold Floating freely in the dark Creating an untamed beast In this darkness glows a light Its gentle green invitation Promising a way out Promising an escape From the Creature of Darkness Promising the desired silence Like the starry night sky Cold and quiet Stars shining their lonely peace Gentle, silent peace Over the door hangs Three splintering  blockades Bent, rusted nails Once straight and strong Before the time of the Creature Now weakly enforce their law Scratched on each face Shouts my barrier MORALS FAITH PROMISE Each forbidding my crossing Each splintered cry declaring The light which glows green May promise one thing But can you see through this door? Eager jaws of hell Or floating through the stars Eternal sleep Or nothing at all My blindness stops me From hearing the metal squeal Of boards being ripped from the door Like the starry night sky Stars appearing within reach But  stretching the arm Until ligaments scream They still taunt the fingertips Like the starry night sky I can see my escape I can stretch my arms Until my ligaments scream But the  splintered blockade Will not allow me to cross Into the forbidden escape

Forbidden Escape
Emergency exit Glowing softly green in the black room Full of madness, inexplicable pain Nameless emotions All without foothold Floating freely in the dark Creating an untamed beast In this darkness glows a light Its gentle green invitation Promising a way out Promising an escape From the Creature of Darkness Promising the desired silence Like the starry night sky Cold and quiet Stars shining their lonely peace Gentle, silent peace Over the door hangs Three splintering  blockades Bent, rusted nails Once straight and strong Before the time of the Creature Now weakly enforce their law Scratched on each face Shouts my barrier MORALS FAITH PROMISE Each forbidding my crossing Each splintered cry declaring The light which glows green May promise one thing But can you see through this door? Eager jaws of hell Or floating through the stars Eternal sleep Or nothing at all My blindness stops me From hearing the metal squeal Of boards being ripped from the door Like the starry night sky Stars appearing within reach But  stretching the arm Until ligaments scream They still taunt the fingertips Like the starry night sky I can see my escape I can stretch my arms Until my ligaments scream But the  splintered blockade Will not allow me to cross Into the forbidden escape
