Trapped lyrics

Alone in dispair, unable...

To move about easily

To speak audibly, clearly

To see the world distinctly

To hear the sounds sharply

To smell the scents plainly

To taste the foods surely

To sense the joy of living

A mind trapped in a body

Inflicted, uncoordinated

Synopses that fail

Reflexes faded, involuntary

Unable to make known

The terror of entrapment

The frustration mute

As if swimming unceasingly

In a sea of incomprehensive tides

A place where independence died

Where infantile and impersonal

Speech is omnipresent

No control of surroundings or self

A mass of living dependence

Where dreams are incomplete

Flashes of light and thoughts ago

Memories to dwell on for sanitie's sake

Amid the horror that it will not end

Unable to take action to stop it

A world where scientific measurement

Cannot reach, cannot probe

Between the real and the percieved

Where cellular mass and impulse

Have no part, no profound intention

The dreams, the memories, the self

Whether intact or but a selection

That is the being trapped within it

Beware the words used in their presence

Reaching out is a matter of initiative

Not just the afflicted, but the effected

What is known trial today and shared

May give insight into their world

That is ignorantly misunderstood

So tomorrow you may not be the one

Who has become trapped...
