Dead Man, Rising

I watch as my flesh is removed, pieced out like a jigsaw puzzle
Feeling no pain, no shame, nothing matters inside of this place
Life's cage was meant to prevent freedom, pointless to struggle
I stare into a mirror, see a criminal, call it brother, we embrace
On awareness of imprisonment, I will smile as I am knowing
My flesh's dead, but my mind and spirit yet flourish, decoding
A future is uncertain, a past burns in sorrow, there's only now
