      TRAPPED

      Trapped, trapped, trapped

      I am trapped like a slave

      a prisoner of fate

      I am trapped in a cage

      a bird, a pet

      Trapped, trapped, trapped

      I am trapped like an insect

      in a sticky goo of death

      I am trapped in a place

      filled with despair

      Trapped, trapped, trapped

      I am trapped somewhere

      but I know not where

      I am trapped in a prison

      where there are no bars

      Trapped, trapped, trapped

      I am trapped like an animal

      caught with an iron jaw

      I am trapped in a dark abyss

      where light is faint

      Trapped, trapped, trapped

      I am trapped in a world

      that I know nothing about

      I am trapped somewhere

      where I know not

      I travel far
