Take a look at these walls and answer me this Are they closing in or is it just me? I'm a good boy, I stay at home and in line Days turns into weeks while I'm losing my mind The world is shrinking, collapsing within Wake, work, eat and repeat, the loop I'm trapped in Tangled in this slumber, biding my time How can I seize the day without you by my side? Give me a flower or a sword to fill me with drive I'm in need of meaning, a reason to be alive Unwilling to cook, heal or take care of myself When all you need is hope, what good is a car, money or wealth? I was born to be free, unchained from want and need Yet here I am, missing your smile and the way you look at me I thank the screens for the view they share Call me a friend or a soul who cares Alone in this room, Adam without Eve I look at the mirror and watch myself bleed It's me and myself, the battle resumes Dig dig dig, one or two tombs Fed one, fed the other, can't bring them to peace My mind is at war, I'm now on my knees...
