Here inside this cage
This never ending maze
Watching myself waste away
The bitterness I taste
Complete intemperance
I sit and slowly count the days
The ever present doubt forever creeping in
I feel my resolve weakening
The last words I'll ever say
In spite of you, I will not fade
Into a world plagued by you
Fractured I accept
This noose around my neck
Tightens so I can't forget
The white noise of your voice
Repeating in my head
Scars to retrace my regret
The burden of a choice
That's lost all meaning
I'm always reaching out
But never reaching
This ever present doubt
Forever creeping in
The last words I'll ever say
Despite all the games you play
In spite of you, I will not fade
Into a world plagued by you
