Trapped inside an unfurnished room
The walls look the same and they tower and bloom
The cities outside but its sure not in here
And all I've got now is all my hopes and my fears
Stuck inside with nobody to call
A house that's asleep, a house that's never a home
I could be tough, work the rest of it out
But all that I seem to do is sit here and shout
Maybe the world keeps us longer than that
Stranded in pain as our bodies grow mad
Making the night up as the clock ticks away
But on the silent 5th floor, I can't hear it anyway
How do the shapes of the room twist so strange
When all that is here are the blank walls from the day
Maybe we'll stay a while or maybe we'll go
This might be forever, this might not be enough
And as I get higher, as my hands start to shake
My body will twist, then throw itself away
I can't make a sound, I can't talk to you now
All that is here is this flame that I've found
And as the flame starts to flicker inside
It's glow all-encompassing, destroying my pride
The world isn't there, and the world isn't here
There is nothing to love and there is nothing to fear
And I will go on, and I'll follow the flame
And although I have fear and although I have shame
There is nothing where there once was me
Can I finally say that I'm finally free?
