Anyone who has felt trapped in a prison or a relationship could relate to this song.
This song is dedicated to Ty Conn and Ashley Smith.
You look at me as if I’m dirty
The insignificance of how I feel
Makes me stumble
For words.
I feel your power over me
I feel you tower over me
The passage of time.
I cannot breathe
I cannot leave
The passage of time.
I settle into hopelessness
My universe ends at my skin
I find it hard to fit in.
Why are they looking this way?
No one should be so alone
So long.
I cannot breathe
I cannot leave
The passage of time
The passage of time
The passage of time.
