Spiralling

The mirror is a veil
Concealing what is real
Hides the poison within
You teach yourself to fear

And all the while the prison grows
Avoiding any sight or sound
Turn the television down again
And the snake eats his tail
Where did it all begin?
You’re spiralling

Now many months have passed
You isolate yourself
With too much time gone to say
And no one would believe

And all the while the prison grows
The body and the mind conspire
Turn your fear into desire again
And the snake eats his tail
Can you break the cycle again?
You’re spiralling

There’s somebody new
Trying to get through again
A law unto yourself
It’s calcified
You crucify yourself

You’ve got to break the chain
And step outside again
