lyrics

Awake again
In this soft white bed
My gaze affixed on the window
As I stare blankly at the rain
The cold subsides
And I’m warm again
This bed is mine
I swallow the pills they give me
Smell the flowers they brought me
But they won’t say
Why I’m here
What here even is
Just empty smiles as they say goodbye
I just want to know
What is wrong with me
I feel as though I’ve been here
For a thousand years
I haven’t seen outside these walls
Since before I could remember
And the picture out the window
Is just as bleak everyday
I feel restless and yet
They won’t let me leave
The hall that I stay in
I find myself surrounded
By the dead and dying
I don’t know what else I can do
