Locked in a box.
With no one around,
And I can’t hear a sound.

Locked in a box.
With no way out,
And I was starting to freak out.

Locked in a box.
Panicking within,
Feeling the room start to spin.

Locked in a box,
With the walls closing in,
Knowing my inescapable fate was starting to begin.

Locked in a box.
With my head feeling faint,
And my pride feeling taint.

Locked in a box.
Giving up in disgrace,
With no chance to escape.
What I now call,
The deep abyss of your mind.
