What would you do

In a locked room

In a cold dark place

What would you do

If you had to face your fear

In a dark locked room

Or even in boredom

No need for food or air

A monster would you become

A terror would that be

Would you test your strength

Against the cold hard walls

Would you go insane

With fists against your head

Would you meditate

A monk in this place

Dancing like standing with two bare feet

On embers as hot as your mind is wild

What would it take to finally clam down

To rid of music and voices

Of conscience and sense

In instinct or shell

What would I do

In your place

To run away

Or stay

And face judgments

It's always the final test

The hardest

To try

Body Mind and Soul

It's no problem

For those you had faced

This cold dark room

One will always release

The heart

The mind

Once they've come to conclusions with the world

Not giving up

But understanding

That's the difference of this and that

When you realize these things you hold on to

They're pointless

The only thing that stops you from soaring

The thing that makes you fear

You'd been trying to run

To let go

To not care

About anything or anyone

To be free

Feeling empty

Yet you also see

This room you've been in

It was the only thing holding you together

The only thing that gave you knowledge

You were heading to empty

Those feelings making you seem dug up

But they had been overflowing

This room

This test

This insanity

Is all we've ever had
