Watching the world pass me by ten times over.
Observing the thousands of people living without a care,
Unbeknownst to the incredible burden I bare.
On this side of the two-way prison
Where you can hear clearly the drop of a pin,
Lives a guy you never knew, who you’ll probably never meet
Because he lives behind a mirror where he’ll never be free.
There’re no friends, no family, no life at all
Some days I just feel like driving my head into this wall.
Escape? No, it's futile, I've already tried that;
It’s to end my days of being a lab rat.
I’d rather die than spend one more minute confined
In this asylum where my only enemy is time.
Have you any idea how many crimes I’ve seen?
How many robberies have occurred?
How many rapes there’ve been?
How many people have died right next to me?
While I can do nothing, just sit there and be.
One day I decided enough was enough,
I didn’t care anymore, I didn’t give a fuck
About living if it meant being blind and deaf
To the world, I was living a fate worse than death.
As I prepared myself to end this fray,
I heard a girl say “Hey,
What’s that?” looking directly at me.
Could this be? Was I finally seen?
I got up and proceeded my hand forward,
As did she without saying a word.
She and I both placed our hands on the glass,
I felt like today in this box was my last.
Until she pulled her hand away and giggled and said,
“It’s just one of those mirrors, the ones that make you weird.”
As she walked away I felt my freedom had too
And she took with her the life I never knew.
You couldn’t imagine all the hope I’d had
To have it struck down in an instant when it was within your grab
I now know my happiness was never meant to be.
I was meant to be trapped here and never to be free.
