lyrics

These wretched walls, infinite barriers: forward, backward, illusions of a choice. How my many missteps clamp these shackles tight. Every left is but another link in the chains that bind me, and every right wraps another ring of rope. Restricted to these four directions; this horrible horizontal plane. A life lived in two dimensions. No upward to arise. Consulting with forbearers, ripe with decay— slumping and silent, the worst company. Their quiet consensus was lost on my mind. Prideful, arrogant, and blind to their sage advice.
A fibula fractured, it points to the end— a grin and a gift from my wisest of friends. Grinding and honing his bone shard to blade, I fashion the means to my only escape. The avarice of life kept me from my release. The third axis I seek was hidden beneath.
Bloody handprints and numerals mark the dead end paths I've traveled. Disoriented, how I've lamented the passing of the years; demarcation of the days by the passing of the feeding tray. Now, in death, I've found my way. The lighted exit nears. The authors of the fables wrote that hell was down below, or so I was told in another life. My child eyes grew wide. Now agéd, this mortal coil constricts around my throat. Surely in these corridors I've found t'was hell where I was bound.
