The Box

I was caught at the break of dawn
In a town with no tomorrow 
Was sitting by the side of the road 
When this cop came and stopped his chevy next to me ...

Name and details
He shouted in my face
The way he looked at me
I can never forget it, even till this day ...

Before I could say something
Try to explain to him my situation
He grabbed his gun
And pointed it in my face ...

Fuck you is all I uttered
Hit him in the balls
And took the gun away
Took a deep breath
Used the gun to open up his pretty face ...

I looked up at the sky
Shouted in disgust
Cause for a second there I could feel his pain
The jack rabbits surrounded me
Dragged me to a higher authority...

The court was set 
While the cameras rolled 
Mentally sick I was thought to be
A correctional facility was my home to be ...

All that they gave me 
Was this 6x6 box
To spend all eternity ...

Scratching the walls 
And hearing all those screams
Trying to be some one else
And failing miserably
Are things that I'll always have in common
With the world outside

I'm the man in the box
But you're in one too
You have this box that your senses gave you
And i'm stuck in this one that was gifted to me ...

Sorrow
Pain
Anger
and Disdain  ...

There are thoughts in my mind
That I can never explain ...
