I can feel it... Every muscle in my body twitch. I try to calm myself... Warm myself somehow. But there is no escape As the cold embrace of these four walls... Slowly swallow me whole. For this room is not empty But filled with silence. It takes me back to days of old, Filled with sunshine But still somehow cold. Always the new kid Too quiet, too talkative, too bold... Voices fill your head: "You will never belong." Years pass and you think you're strong, The struggle is done. But the moment you enter that room The predators start to circle, And you're that lonely kid in the playground again... Never to feast, always the easy prey.

Easy prey
I can feel it... Every muscle in my body twitch. I try to calm myself... Warm myself somehow. But there is no escape As the cold embrace of these four walls... Slowly swallow me whole. For this room is not empty But filled with silence. It takes me back to days of old, Filled with sunshine But still somehow cold. Always the new kid Too quiet, too talkative, too bold... Voices fill your head: "You will never belong." Years pass and you think you're strong, The struggle is done. But the moment you enter that room The predators start to circle, And you're that lonely kid in the playground again... Never to feast, always the easy prey.
