I'm sitting in this room wondering
wondering when I'll get up
get up and walk through the door

I can hear your voices
the room is empty
I see no light
no light whatsoever
and your voices sound cold, cascading from the walls

I'm sitting in this room wondering
wondering when I'll get up
get up and walk through the door

There's an open door to my right
and the light slips through a little
I know it is unlocked
it is unlocked and I can walk through free
walk through, and leave this place

I'm sitting in this room wondering
wondering when I'll get up
get up and walk through the door

I hear your voices
stories I've been listening to for years
I wonder if I'll ever hear any good
I try to understand
you all don't seem to see me sitting here
listening..

I'm sitting in this room wondering
wondering when I'll get up
get up and walk through the door

All you are is voices
I can't see you
and you can't hear me
all this misery because I'm not white enough
I don't stand up to your standaards
white candle in the dark
I can't see your faces

I'm sitting in this room
and after all those years of hate
is it a surprise?
You don't want to hear about my new religion?
How you hate the light behind that door
I'm sitting in this dark room
I want to scream..mother...father..brothers..
but there are only walls
walls and your voices
walls that are starting to burn

I'm sitting in this room wondering
wondering when I'll get up
get up and walk through the door

I wonder...
