Stroll to the cafe

My God how time flies

I close up my brain

And another friend dies

I feel like a mirror

Feel like nothing is mine

I could go back to crying

But now dying seems fine

So I hang from the ceiling

Or I sit on the air

Or rot in a corner

Until somebody cares

Faces at random

I quote people I knew

I'd love to be like me

If I could feel like you

Here am I, more roche five than pain

Here am I, just me and my walls to blame

Here am I, I really don't feel quite sane

Here am I, still searching for my shadow in vain

Lock my door I only think in black and white

I'll even try to look ashamed

Moving out of central

Somebody knows me well

Says he'll spill the whole story

He may be lying I can't tell

Meet me inside

I'll keep my head to the floor

And one hand on the handle

Of the mad/sane door

Here am I, more roche five than pain

Here am I, just me and my walls to blame

Here am I, I really don't feel quite sane

Here am I, still searching for my shadow in vain

Lock my door I only think in black and white

I'll even try to look ashamed

My shadow in vain

My shadow in vain

My shadow in vain

My shadow in vain

My shadow in vain...
