Soul Mining

You're floating down a tunnel

In a little wooden box

You're scared and you're lonely

And enveloped in fog

You've been prised open

And left here to die

You should've trusted your instincts

Because they don't tell lies

Something always goes wrong

When things are going right

You've swallowed your pride

To quell the pain inside

Someone captured your heart

Like a thief in the night

And squeezed all the juice out

Until it ran dry

You've been read like an open book

Page by page

You'll never tell anyone

Your inner thoughts again

You were taken in by a heart of fool's gold

Now you're drifting in circles

In the depths of your soul

Something always goes wrong

When things are going right

You've swallowed your pride

To quell the pain inside

Someone captured your heart

Like a thief in the night

And squeezed all the juice out

Until it ran dry
