LOCKED IN A ROOM

I am locked in a room

Tired of walking in the past

I can't find a true friend out of this world

Nothing out here can lift my burden off

I can no longer tell the differences in a friend and a foe

I can no longer tell the day there would be peace at home

I don't want to see hearts stained in blood

Can't face an unjust world anymore

Let me die alone in the dark where I belong

I don't want anyone looking out for me

I can't walk a distance without feelings of hate

I can't keep seeing the innocent crying everyday

Mother helpless victim of man's cruelty for love is abandoned

Lock me in a room

I don't want to have no friend anymore

I don't want my heart hurt and bleed any more

I just want to live as an outcast

Wait till God call these day my last

There is so much pollution in the mind

The hearts greedy, it can’t seem to get enough

There is no more evening that bare a smile

Just the wailing of a world running clockwise

Good is forgotten, the cloud bares on it no star

I no longer want to be a victim of an unforeseen world anymore
