I awake and wonder how the fuck I got in this glass case

 Impaled on the weight of the mistakes I made

 Failures and regrets I take to this grave

 On display

 And I will never circumvent this fate

 I never will escape it

 Lie awake, pinned to the illusion of an open space

 Hope is paralyzed by my mistakes

 I weep for our failures

 I weep for the loss

 Dust collects on the glass

 Obscuring the light from view

 Suspended animation wings

 Life hangs motionless

 Out there in the ether longing to be free

 Pinned to a white sheet

 Entombed in glass

 Anchored to my misery

 I weep for our failures

 I weep for our loss

 Alone with my regrets

 Imprisoned behind glass

 This is an emergency

 Break the glass
