In the center of the room
I sit here quietly, I dare not move.
The walls are made of murky glass
Shadows are moving as time starts to pass.
I look outside, but I can't really see
Trapped with my thoughts it gets harder to breathe.
I know some place far where everything's fine
But I am chained down, so this place I won't find.
The sun is setting, my prison grows darker.
Awaiting the pain, my senses grow sharper.
Reality hits like a tidal heat wave
Scorching and burning, I scream to be saved.
But nobody comes, they never do
Just a stranger to them, this is nothing new.
The paths I chose put me here in this room
A tragic disaster, I bathe in the gloom
When the sun rises, I peer out again
Enchanted, observing - I don't join the game.
The far away people - they make me feel whole
At night it feels worth it, when I'm left all alone.
