Weeks go by
I've lost the count
Can't recall how my voice sounds
Stared down by the mirror
I cannot hide
Look in my eyes and pretend to know
I'm putting up a show
There has to be someone that once felt the same
Crushed beneath the ceiling
Stare at the wall till I'm blind
And till the silence kills me
I'm not made to be caged
A means to my end
A game to put a dried-out brain to the test
Desolated, I'd feel the same alive or dead
Isolated, draining the air with every breath
Another day bleeds into dusk
All I know has turned to rust
No way to live
No way to die
Look in my eyes and pretend to know
I'm putting up a show
There has to be someone that knows what I mean
Crushed beneath the ceiling
Stare at the wall till I'm blind
And till the silence kills me
Take me away
Can't you see
I'm afraid that I'll never be the same
I often wonder what could be
If these loathsome walls did not separate you from me
I guess it wasn't meant to be
Pacing a hole into the ground
A grave for the life that wasn't realized
Crushed beneath the ceiling
Stare at the wall till I'm blind
And till the solitude ends me
Pacing a hole into my mind
I keep on running circles in this endless fight
Crushed beneath the ceiling
Gaze at the floor till I'm numb
And till the silence kills me
I guess it wasn't meant to be
Can't you see
I'm afraid that I'll never be the same
I often wonder what could be
If these loathsome walls did not separate you from me
