I am alone
I am alone
A spiral staircase without a rail
I am alone
Where no one can watch me, no one can watch me fail
My mind's a house where the furniture moves on its own
All the rooms rearrange themselves so it can never be a home
Every map I make leads me anywhere but out
Sometimes I'm sure it would be easier to burn the whole thing down
Every mark I make evaporates into these ashen walls
Not even echoes of my voice respond to my desperate calls
I lie numb for hours upon this frozen floor, where
No one else can know the emptiness behind these thousand doors
Shadows grow longer
As the light moves farther
Away inside this labyrinth of nervous run-on thoughts
There is no north or south, all directions point to lost
Within this anxious darkness, every friend seems a foe
No matter where I settle, my head will never be my home
The halls are caving in
The walls are growing thin
Still, the ghosts stay silent
So I can't forget, cannot forget
I am alone
A spiral staircase with no rail
I am alone
Built of brittle brick and shale
I am alone
Rotted, collapsing and pale
I am alone
So come on and watch me, come on and watch me fail
