Wallflower

Six by six from wall to wall Shutters on the windows, no light at all Damp on the floor, damp in your bed They're trying to drive you crazy get you out of your head They feed you scraps they feed you lies To lower your defences, no compromise There's nothing you can do, your days are long Your mind is working overtime your body's not that strong Hold on, Hold on They take you out the light burns your eyes In the talking room there's no surprise Twisted questions clean white coats Their eyes are as hidden as their Hippocratic oaths They tell you to behave, behave as their guest You try to resist them you do your best They take you to the limit they take you beyond No matter what they say to you there's no way to respond Hold on, Hold on, Hold on, Hold on They put you in a box so you can't be heard May your spirit be unbroken may you not be deterred, hold on You have gambled with your own night, you spend the night alone While the builders of the cages sleep with bullets bars and stones They can't see the road to freedom you have built with flesh and bone Though you may disappear You're not forgotten here I will say to you We will do what we can do
