Outside my window the moon shines bright
I know I can't reach it
Even with the help of time
Locked in this room feels like prison to me
They told me this is home
Where I spend the rest of my being
But I ran through my thoughts
And this is not what I want
My voice is much too weak
Makes it too hard to speak
It ain't walls that alight my fears
It is the darkness that comes
After staring out a window year after year
It ain't walls that lock me in
It is the people who see no meaning
In an old man's tears
Here she comes to change my underwear
As a young man I would have danced with her
For them I stopped to be a man
I am just a number
Rotten flesh polluting the air
But I won't give up
Something is still too tough
I will holler and fight
Till I never get out of their mind
It ain't walls that alight my fears
It is the darkness that comes
After staring out a window year after year
It ain't walls that lock me in
It is the people who see no meaning
In an old man's tears
