Four white walls surround me
My heart beats dully
In the distance the wind roars faintly
But the sound of the frantic keyboard is deafening
Around me is empty space
A stagnant void that does nothing
Here in this room there’s only me
Me and only me
It weighs on me
Like a blanket on a cold night
The tranquil silence
Which gives me comfort
I am content where I am right now
Because I know it’s not forever
Here in this room there’s only me
Me and only me
