Images of the mind

Come into my world,
It's a dark and dreary place,
Cobwebs hang from the walls,
Where potential goes to waste.

The drawers in here open and close at will,
Don't wonder what purpose they fulfill,
I don't know myself what happens in here,
It's become a haven for insecurities and fear.

The light's been turned off it seems,
The flashlights have insignificant beams,
Don't pierce the darkness that you might find,
For in it lurks a loathsome fiend.

Don't bring no good, there is no place,
This evil in me takes up all the space,
What do I say? What do I find?
What goes on in this sinister mind?

This is my world, This is my mind,
It's not very nice, it's not very kind.
Get out before they consume you, these flames that burn,
Or drown in these shallow waters that for gratification yearn.

Or rather don't come go run away,
Go before it all ends, Either ways.

Hello? Are you out there?

I've been looking out, looking out for you,
I've exhausted all my options, I've had quite a few,
I'm still in this darkness, blinded even in this brilliant day,
Feeling my path by my hands, maybe even lost my way.
Are you listening to me? Will you answer my call?
I don't want to fall down, I don't want to crawl.
Hello? Are you out there?

It's been dark now quite a while,
I've still tried to face it with a smile,
What ever happened to me? My dreams? They've been gone a while?
And why does my innocence feel like an illegitimate child?
Are you listening to me? Will you answer my call?
I need you to help me, I feel I'm facing a wall.
Hello? Are you out there?

Great deeds of valor have always been told.
Good that fought the bad, tales that never grew old,
I remember wanting to change the world , do some good,
What has it come to? People are still starving for food.
Are you listening to me? Will you answer my call?
I want to feel happy again, I'm feeling so small.
Hello? Are you out there?

A hundred reasons we have found for god not to exist,
Some still say he is out here, somewhere in our midst,
While the world around us burns and smolders in hate,
How is it that one keeps up his faith?
Are you listening to me? Will you answer my call?
I can't feel you, are you there at all?
Hello? Are you out there?
