Hostage to the rescue

Murky, elsewhere The only thing you would stare Vision? Twisted And never been intoxicated That bouncy heart never quits It keeps rattling the ribs "Make it out alive, you freak!" But you couldn't make a tread Abducted, trapped in your head Those butterflies start to spin 'round your head in turn On the moment you notice "Man, I'm going nuts" "Help!" you shriek With all the oomph of your gut But you were running in circles No one came to cut you loose Hearing only your echoes As you're trapped in your own abyss Where no one sees
