Room
[Verse I]
Inside
With only two windows
Limited to what I could see
Outside
Where people used to roam
Where I before could
Touch the sky
[Pre Chorus]
Watching the clouds
Paint a daydream
Even with its tears
And temper tantrums
Roaring so loud
For a smokey cream
That cries out
Its pain like a beating drum-
[Chorus]
I wished to play
In the backyard today
But a flame is
Setting fire
To the terrain
It’s getting to people’s fame
What a shame to
Our scorching world…
Too bad I’m just in my
Room
[Verse II]
The sun shines
While I’m by myself
Quarantined, and have to stay
Clean
Polish my remaining wealth
Cleanse my body until
The burns are gone
[Bridge]
Wash away the flares
Is there enough water
To drown out the lack of care
Cover up, but don’t be scared
Just don’t breathe
The air
[Chorus]
I wished to play
In the backyard today
But a flame is
Setting fire
To the terrain
It’s getting to people’s fame
What a shame to
Our scorching world…
Too bad I’m just in my
Room
Too bad I’m just in my Room.
