stuck to the wall

Stuck to these four walls, ancient crumbling heart of a city
Debris is my feast and I eat with eyes half closed
Pretending you sit across from me with your smile intact
Ragged pink dress was once so fine in the window
Craving attention and seeking perfection I was lost
Into the world of craving what is not real
Checking in at the desk I was placed under arrest
I’ve been waiting ever since
For someone to break the bars of this prison
Where boredom is poison and I’m wasting my time here
Thinking tomorrow is different day after day
You hold out your hand but my fingers can’t reach you
Another mirage on the wall and you say you can’t stay
You have another engagement, half past the moon
I stay up late and keep hoping you’ll come back this way
Telephone rings Hello, hello…but nobody answers
As walls cave in where hope used to be
There was never any chance for someone like me.

Doesn't sound sad to me like. Sounds more like realization unfolding into yearning.
"Checking in at the desk I was placed under arrest"..yeah. |
