Empty Apartment
My mind is lost in an empty apartment
Where I refuse to let anyone in
Where light does not shine and doors do not open
It's where my emotional self has always been.
I'm locked in this empty apartment
Where my silence is my loudest scream
Its where all my pictures fade away
And every happy moment is just a dream
I don't want to leave this empty apartment
Because here, only angels can hear my voice
Its where I go when nobody will listen
And everything is always my choice
Whenever I leave my empty apartment
Instead of a bridge, I build a wall
I put on a mask and say "I'm Fine"
And I never let that fake smile fall
Every night I return to my empty apartment
So I can cry and let out my pain
So I can let my tears run slowly
And let the makeup on my shirt remain
In my empty apartment
I say what I want with no regret
I deal with problems my own way
And remember the things I've been told to forget
...And in my empty apartment
I constantly sit there alone
Look around at the closing in walls
And realize, I finally feel at home.
