"Walking in the Dark" (poem)

Been jammin' this out on top of a loop and decided I better write it down.  The middle part is awkward so I'll probably play with that some more.  I like the loop so this will likely get recorded.

Update:  This is being continuously modified and probably will be until I record it.

Walking in the dark
and I can't see where I'm goin'

So fuckin' scared
and I hope it ain't showin'

Just trying to find a light
and won't you help me please
I'll do anything
but I won't get on knees

Set me free
Just let me be
Set me free
Just let me be

That's when I found
the entrance to the cave

with crystals and diamonds
all the things they craved

Light is the sound
but sometimes a siren's song
I've got to keep moving
I've got to get along.

Set me free
Just let me be
Set me free
Just let me be

All these things
No-one even needs

They don't matter
People want to be free

I turned around
and left that bright cave
Into darkness
and maybe my grave

Set me free
Just let me be
Set me free
Just let me be


Walking in the dark
and I can't see where I'm goin'

So fuckin' scared
and I hope it ain't showin'

Just trying to find a light
and won't you help me please
I'll do anything
but I won't get on knees
