This room that I call 'sanctuary'

Is nothing but a cage

And all this time I'm wasting

Is just another way

That I lie to myself,

To tell you that I'm fine

All a mere facade

So we can pretend I'm alright

I'm trapped in a room

Like a bird without wings

And yet I let you assume

That it don't mean a thing

Trapped in this world

That's only in black and white

Pretending you can't see

doesn't make wrong's right

This room that I call home

Now means nothing to me

It's just a place where I reside

To preserve my sanity

Yet as hard as I may try

To not be a pawn in a game

My hopes and dreams denied,

Everything stays the same
