They say it's escape
They call it survival
I say it only temporary
I call it relief
How long will this haven
I call insanity, last?
I drown in our sorrow
He suffocates me
In my own despair
As I journey to the end
I find myself trapped
In a thin layer
Of my own ignorance
He smiles sadistically
Embracing my fear
As his power
He smiles to me from another place
