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.
