In my room, I sit and stare at the wall And I wonder who I can call Time goes by slipping away As the night turns into the day I sit and I'm losing my mind I wish I could relax and unwind As the sun comes into my room I have the feeling of impending doom I feel that I am too shy And I want to open up and cry But the tears won't roll down my face And my heart starts to really race My nerves are shot, I'm going insane Now the window is soaking with rain I sit and I stare at the wall As I hear someone coming down the hall My heart rate is starting to recede My thoughts are coming to impede I hear a knock at the door I try to reach the floor But I find myself starting to fall And as I slip I hit the wall I cry out and I try to shout Nothing I think will come out There's another knock at the door I can't get up off the floor That person goes back down the hall As I lie here staring at the wall
