Iron Maiden

Safely I sit
Inside my iron maiden
Metal spikes line the walls
Resolute and waiting

The lock is on the inside
I could open it and go
But this prison that surrounds me
Is the only home I know

I don’t even need to stand
To escape this fear-soaked cell
Just have to reach my hand out
To enter into hell

The world outside my home
Fills me with such fear
My hand near the lock falls
Now my future’s clear

And so I sit
Inside my iron maiden
Knowing that I’ll never leave
Resolute and waiting
