Wrapped & Twisted

*I wrote this back in 2002 and it's one of my favorites.


Harsh words & violent blows
Hidden secrets nobody knows
Eyes are open, hands are fisted
Deep inside I'm wrapped & twisted
So many tricks & so many lies
Too many whens & too many whys
Nobody's special, nobody's gifted
I'm just me, wrapped & twisted
Sleeping awake & choking on a dream
Listning loudly to a silent scream
Call my mind, the number's unlisted
Lost in someone so wrapped & twisted
On my knees, alive but dead
Look at the invisible blood I've bled
I'm not gone, my mind has drifted
Don't expect much, I'm wrapped & twisted
Burnt out, wasted, empty & hollow
Today's just yesterday's tomorrow
The sun died out, the ashes sifted
I'm still here, wrapped & twisted
