A Dream Of Black And White

Trapped inside, nowhere to hide
Falling down, dark and deep, black and white ...
No need to weep, no need to cry,
Will find a way to get outside, this dark and scary ride ...
Closed around, walls of stone
Sky of black, floor of bone, I feel it deep inside ...
A key to in, a key to out
A lock to fit, the hope of now, it's waiting right beside ...
Found the lock, found the black
Found the white, found the ride,
But now where is the key to out, the key of hope
I may just shout, 'Get me out!'
But I'll hold my fear, don't let it win
Keep upright, it's just a dream
A dream of black and white
