Here I feel like a creature in a cage 

Here I pace back and forth in my mind's eye

This mind is prison, I can not deny

This life sentence has caused nothing but rage

What crimes have I committed in my age? 

What have I done if nothing but comply? 

Held forever in time until I die

Held against my will, can not disengage… 

Helpless, heartless

Upsetting, unrelenting, unraveling

Rage and ruins to release and repairs

Transcending, transfiguring, transporting

Shapeless and seamless

I am a consciousness here in this skull

and one day this vessel comes to an end

Physical remains are put in a tomb 

Spectral form freed, my true plumage will bloom

I shake off the facade, no longer dull

A beast of freedom with haste I ascend 

Escaping ugliness of the worlds gloom
