Prison of Skin and Bones

This prison of skin and bone
Trembles as I hit the walls
Slicing at the wallpaper
Screaming down the halls

I grab at the bars
Of my battered ribs
No escape from this cell
No escape from these fibs

I cut at the wallpaper
Of my startled skin
To escape my companions:
The demons within

Yet there's no results
From my feeble tries
My body - a prison
No escape till it dies.

Quote is from the song 'Armageddon Days' by American Hi-Fi
