Drifting off, I'm lost and in shock

Those cries she sought

Nobody can hear her

Once again, I'm left to question

Why I'm not

In her mirror

I try to, try to- try to- see

Who I'm meant to be

Even now I don't want to say

Mayday, mayday- mayday- "Hey

Breathing in look at me"

Bleeding but I don't feel a thing

I look down from my rotting grave

She stays

Dead but wide awake

Dreaming with a zombies brain

She states

"Leave it up to fate"

Trapped inside of Plato's cave

Knowing not of a reality

Shadows dance all night and day

Come to face their own mortality

This hell of a resting place

Her name is engraved

This newly found freedom gave

Another gilded cage

The night is still young

What are you afraid of?

Missing carton memories

A stranger looks right through me

Watching through a TV screen

You never listened to me

She looks down from her rotting grave

I stay

In a foggy haze

To my dearest other me

Let's see

Who will take the blame

Prisoners of Plato's cave

Seeing the light of reality

So let's dance the night away

Knowing the truth of Humanity
