lyrics

Roaming alone in the halls of this mansion
I wonder why I’m having cold shivers
When I walk all alone, haunted by
these paintings

I lost my mind in the halls of this mansion
I wonder where… where was I on that night?
When I lost all this time, searching for a meaning

I swear the world is not the same
something’s moving in the shadow
No one ever fully escape
the corridors of our own self

Running scared amidst the floral tapestry
I’ve almost fell, tripped and fell to my death
As this carpet is laid, with far too many horrors

As a bat out of hell I’ve been pacing
these wood floors, marching with
pain to my final commitment
When the light glow is gone, a mind
deprived of colors

I swear the world is not the same
Something’s moving in the shadow
No one ever fully escape
The corridors of our own self
