Lyrics

[00:34.25] Little girl sits in the corner, locked in a stare.
[00:43.00] Arms waving madly at something
[00:46.24] that sadly isn't there.
[00:48.80]
[00:51.66] Dressed in the day's best by a nurse
[00:55.98] who's nowhere to be found.
[00:58.93]
[01:00.36] What does she see?
[01:03.04]
[01:04.79] Maybe she's looking at me...
[01:09.66]
[01:24.58] Old man is strapped to the seat of his chair,
[01:28.20]
[01:28.88] wearing a gown.
[01:30.82]
[01:33.18] Shouting and cursing at someone
[01:36.02] who clearly isn't around.
[01:39.58]
[01:41.88] Father Time has twisted his mind.
[01:45.95] The staff says, "He's not well!"
[01:49.00]
[01:50.44] To whom does he speak?
[01:53.56]
[01:55.12] Maybe he's speaking to me...
[02:00.67]
[02:07.23] So we keep these people inside these walls,
[02:14.03] from society.
[02:17.46]
[02:20.58] Their forgotten lives safe from the crowd,
[02:25.51]
[02:27.37] they can't leave.
[02:30.49]
[02:32.31] You've left them there with me.
[02:36.98]
[03:39.01] So we keep these people behind these walls,
[03:45.76] from society.
[03:48.88]
[03:52.18] Their forgotten lives safe from the crowd,
[03:57.76]
[03:59.13] they can't leave.
[04:02.14]
[04:05.26] Through the doors come people like me,
[04:10.88]
[04:12.25] good-bye to them.
[04:15.11]
[04:18.29] They see a picture few of us see.
[04:23.29]
[04:25.22] They can't leave.
[04:29.00]
[04:29.93] You've left them there with me.
