I'm sitting down inside the shower

As beads of water climb my veins

The tile floor is cold beneath me

The steam is fogging mirror panes

I'm making mental notes of halls I've walked

And pills I've yet to take

I've recovered slow and hope that

I'll be seeing you today

White lights flash below and flicker

The city wakes as I still sleep

In an electric bed my arm is fed

I feel the glowing TV screen

The clever clock above will sing out

At every hour's chance it has

I'm feeling lonely less 'cause you've been here

The time will surely pass

I've been kept inside for too long now

I'm begging you to break me out

They've medicated me for days

I'm living in a foreign place

I've been wasting away

But I figured out that healing starts

When I can see your face

Now I'm looking out my window

The cars are moving so slow

The grass absorbs some rays of sun below

A sharpened needle breaks my skin

And I'm waiting for the medicine

To take me to a world devoid of loneliness

Now I'm sinking to the bottom

Of an ocean under me

The lights are dimming from the surface

And muffled noises surround me

I've lost the sense of touch

But love is still inside my dream

Of perfect silence and escaping life

We drift slowly to sleep

You've been here

All day long

I hope you see

What it's meant to me

I've been kept inside for too long now

I'm begging you to break me out

They've medicated me for days

I'm living in a foreign place

I've been wasting away

But I figured out that healing starts

When I can see your face
