What on Earth is going on in my heart
Has it turned as cold as stone

But she thinks we're better off that way

Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small

the mind is the smallest prison of all,

as a boy without touch feels through his fall

I can hold these inside
I will hold my breath until all these shivers subside
Just look into my eyes

Everyone I know has gone away
Died or left or just forgot to stay
Sometimes took for granted, sometimes turned away
Sometimes didn't say what I meant to say
