Detention Lyrics by Illanoise

Revenge of the Nerd

2019

[Verse 1: Illanoise]
Trapped in a cell, my own personal hell
Demons feeding on my flesh and they know me so well
I tried to fight 'em off but they got an iron jaw holding on to me
Strapped in chains with an iron ball
The warden walked in, now he got his eye on me, got on everyones nerves, his name was anxiety
Acted like he was nothing, he killed me inside silently
Made me shave, wondering what day I would finally
Break down, I banged on the bars, I couldn't break out
Started panicking, rambling words no one could make out
Tried to put on a fake smile, but it was engraved in my brain now, there was no way out
Trapped inside my problems, confined within my sorrow
Thinking about yesterday and worrying about tomorrow
The warden just laughed as he walked past, 'cause then he left the room and he knew I could not follow
[Chorus: Illanoise]
All this pain, can I just end it? (Can I just end it?)
'Cause my life has got me fenced in (Got me fenced in)
Could end it now but I'd regret it (I'd regret it)
Can I escape my minds detention?
[Verse 2: Illanoise]
A new guard decided to make his first impression
He said "nice to meet ya, my name is your depression"
He walked into the cell, proceeded to beat me senseless
I was just another prisoner, I was nothing but defenseless
I needed a way to end it, a rope to hang my neck with
A razor blade to shave away all the pain I felt in my body
I couldn't take it anymore
Bang my head against the wall, bloodstains on the floor
Everyone else looked at me like I was crazy
I yelled "I need help, will someone come and save me?"
They thought I was a baby, like man stop crying
But how can I enjoy living if inside of me I'm dying?
Depression came to my cell day after day
You would think after a while I would get used to the pain
When it's a usual thing all you do is just think
Confused wonder why everyone is abusive to me
[Chorus: Illanoise]
All this pain, can I just end it? (Can I just end it?)
'Cause my life has got me fenced in (Got me fenced in)
Could end it now but I'd regret it (I'd regret it)
Can I escape my minds detention?
[Verse 3: Illanoise]
It was just another day, anxiety was haunting me
Depression grabbed the weapon and proceeded beating on to me
Leave me with bleeding arteries
It's becoming hard to see, I must've lost ten gallons but the blood keeps coming out of me
But then it finally got to me, fuck it, I've had enough of it
Grabbed the weapon from depression then I fucking snuffed the bitch
Looked for keys on the body, but I had no luck with it
I can't be trapped in this cell, I need to face the public
Pressed on the door, and to my surprise
It opened wide, the whole time I was inside
It was never locked, but due to my frustration, I missed the answers to the problems that I was facing
When I stepped out the cell, anxiety ran away
From the look on his face, he seemed very afraid
'Cause the truth is, all the problems that you face, can only control you if you let them lock you in a cage
[Chorus: Illanoise]
All this pain, can I just end it? (Can I just end it?)
'Cause my life has got me fenced in (Got me fenced in)
Could end it now but I'd regret it (I'd regret it)
Can I escape my minds detention?
