Soul Deprived

Confined I'm confined

Straightjacket

Strapped to my side

Entangled

In motion I'm bound

In suspense

Seclusion alternates

Only between hope

And delusion

A victim of substance

And anchored prey

Who will not live

To see the day

The devil lies below

I am deprived

Light blinding

In my eye

He uncoils his claws

And clasps my nature

And to grasp my soul

He stretches his life out within:

In trade for freedom

In change for designs

His demons consume

The death sedative

I see them fly

Through the sun

Of my eye

Then comes the way

He slides along

Quietly listen

Into the deep

Mouth of the venom

Planting his teeth in

The poison remedy

While demons swarm
