Tossing...turning...incapable of getting lost in slumber
Worries filling my mind, counted sheep, forgot the number
Desperately seeking for harmony and internal peace
But the more I try, the more the misery seems to increase
No poverty or domestic rage, locked up in a golden cage
Freedom restricted, progress blocked, prevented a come of age
Silent when I need to scream, living under fascist regime
Controlled by heartless fiend, haunting me in my dream
...My dream...
.
.
.
.
Fluorescent lights glaring down, no more reality around
Cruel commands, humiliation, laying naked on the ground
On view like monkeys at the zoo 24 hours a day
Lost in decay due to those orders I'm forced to obey
No daylight! None! No air! None! No darkness! Never quiet!
Violence lurking below the surface causing a riot
No one has ever escaped through those bullet-proof gates
Such frigid sterile environment, caught up in dire straits
A gnawing sense of hunger, treated like a thing, not a person
Oppressive, terrified to speak for the situation might worsen
.
.
.
.
Sweaty forehead pounding and ears ringing as I awaken
Atmosphere of unparalleled fright I wish I had mistaken
But I am indeed imprisoned in this bare society
So numb and tortured, slowly destroyed by anxiety
Doesn't anyone hear the soft shrieks I'm giving?
Anguished for my dream is what I am living
