[hometext] => I got this idea from the film ‘The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. The voice is supposed to be of Jean Bauby who suffered a stroke and blinked out his memoirs with his left eyelid, as it was the only body part he could move.
[bodytext] => Trapped in a life of sorrow Bound by the ropes of tears Muscles dull from stillness Paralytic and helpless here My left eye slowly flickers To blink out these darn words Overly pensive mind A sound won’t leave my mouth A life of love and laughter Now left behind in a stroke Compassion has decayed, Apart from that of myself Tomorrow, the same drag Open my eye to the hell Powerless and impotent Let me go from this world, to me a long black hole.
