Wooden slats laid on the floor
Up the sides, so many more
The ceiling’s just another wall
Insanity finds you, you start to fall
Down to the bottom, no sign of light
No windows nor doors, it must be the night
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run
When will this agony ever be done?
You feel all around, as you move side to side
It’s too dark to tell, for fear, where you hide
Down in the corner, head in your hands
You cry out in anguish, silent demands
But no one can hear you, they’ve all gone away
In this wooden box, forever, you’ll stay
