I´m here today, just like every yesterday.
Heavy heat, and the sheets stick to my skin.
Can´t get away from nothingness.
I try to get up, but I have to give into the force that is keeping me down.
I overcome gravity, I look outside.
A cat cries out, trapped upon a window sill,
but its crying´s drowned out by my screaming inside.
What will it take? I wonder what it´s like exposed outside,
would I be safe? When will it break.
Try to look out, I see reflection I just want to break.
Sirens moan. They´re forever crying... someone´s probably dying.
The sound sticks inside my head. Talk to myself, I´m company,
but who is to say if nothing is said?
Two windows stare back at me.
Three stories high and nothing is new.
I may sit, but someday I´ll stand.
I´ll muster up the will and fire myself through.
What will it take? I wonder what it´s like exposed outside,
would I be safe? When will it break.
Try to look out, I see reflection I just want to break.
