Won’t you release me Will you let me die I can’t kill myself Else I would be damned A book on the shelf Waiting to be banned My time on this earth Has all but expired I long for rebirth And all it inspired Reincarnation Into something more This fleshly prison I cannot endure The pain is so great It is not for real I suffer my fate But I do not feel Suppress everything Or scream my lungs out My brain is burning It hurts not to shout The poison runs deep It spreads everywhere How long will I keep Myself from despair?
