In a secret room
Hidden and dim
Where lights danced
Puffs of smoke beamed
With seas of strangers
Serving as your hideaway
In the next few hours
Welcomed but shouldn't stay
Petit glasses filled with liquid
Drafting stories, fake and real
Laughter louder than music
Emotions revealed and concealed
Floors with current
Walls with cyclones
Surrounded and crowded
But you're all alone
Where happy can be bought
Even if it's temporary
You can be you
Or whoever you want to be

Yes, it's my fault but you can't blame me
You made time stuck at one forty three

Mistake. I refuse to call it that
Accident, coincidence or destiny
Right or wrong, whatever it is, it's
Killing and maintaining my sanity

Either stay beside you, nothing more
Do I dare act to call you my own
Should I stay still and do nothing
Or sacrifice us and risk being alone

Not knowing what should I do
Break the barriers, venture to the unknown
Afraid to end without beginning
Now we're stuck with unspoken but shown

Games that turned to reality
Selfishly praying to the divine
I can keep you but not as my own, or
Lose you for wanting you to be mine

You need to help me, allow it to be
Yes, make it fast forward to one fifty three
