Four walls, a window and a door
And all the empty space between the ceiling and the floor.
Tried to think of things I'd never thought before,
I ran my mind in circles until I got bored.
So I got up, to take a peak outside,
Imagining the things that I might find.
Got to the window and pulled the curtains back,
But the wall was boarded by several wooden planks.
Looked over my shoulder at the door,
Spun myself around and I started walking toward it.
A few strides and I'll be on my way.
I reached for the knob and I gave it a shake
But it didn't budge, firm in my grip
So I plunged my mind into a deep panic.
The room is locked and I cant get out.
My heart sinks low and my mind starts to shout.
Feeling unsafe, feeling alone
Trying to pray, although it feels foreign
Tired of waiting, killing me slowly.
Tired of losing, leaving me lonely.
Eyes closed, head in my hands.
All I can think of is exactly what I can't do.
I can't lie and I can't make excuses.
I wanna move my body but I just can't do it.
My mind is weak and my body feels tired.
My will's about to break and it's leaving me entirely.
The bad vibes - I just can't fight em
Consumed by the dark even when I got the light on.
Looking for answers, not getting a response.
Feeling backed in a corner and surrounded on all sides.
Wishing it could all just disappear
To free the ghost that's been trapped in the mirror.
Searching desperately for the keys
To unlock the door that's been confining me.
But as long as I keep looking around
Everywhere outside of myself, then I'll be -
Feeling unsafe, feeling alone
Trying to pray, although it feels foreign
Tired of waiting, killing me slowly.
Tired of losing, leaving me lonely.
