Lock me up again

Suffocation feels so right with you
I’m in a cage, with all exits open and in view
And like a bird I fly for freedom, and I claw myself away
But something in my mind betrays my better nature, and wills me to stay
And when the sun sets I return
To let you lock me up again
Lock me up again
Lock me up again
Lock me up again
Lock me

In diamond candy coated feather softened lies
I can feel your breath on my neck reaching down inside
Steel rose temple covered in your confidence pesticide
It drains my will power and I feel the need to free myself
It’s a pointless practice, and holds no alleviation
I’m in a cage, with all exits blocked from view

My sense of self is gone when I’m with you
You reek of an ivory carapace wrapped in strongest glue
Pushed asunder and torn down under your pisces nature arises
I feel the urge to let you slip, and give you compromises
A onetime pass to everything I hold
It’s not the first won’t be the last and it’s tearing the soul
I sold to you
I let you close the door, I let you lock me up again
Lock me up again
Lock me up again
Lock me up again
Lock me

Marauders look inside our perfect open cage
Carnivorous orchids line the walls yet still they stay
They put themselves inside my place and I wish they would take it
But with you I am too weak, and no one can break this
My hope flies away and I accept my fate
Hang myself on your cold dark hair,
Cold skin feather soft with love displaced
My mud garden hangs down from a pearly gate
I sit there waiting, building courage to escape

I like this. It's got great lyrics - I like the first line 'Suffocation feels so right with you'. The imagery's very effective and it's got lovely flow. I feel that it's a ballad. Am I right?
