In a corner
By a broken window
He looks at what he’s done and he cries to the world
He cries
And clutches his stomach
And then he looks at me with the world in his eyes
A world of pain
And medication
Where no one hopes for more than for each day to end
I wanna know
I wanna know how
I wanna know how it got to be this way
This way
Of killing time
Each endless hour ended by one cigarette
And then a decision
To get to the next one
Or making them pay for all the attention he gets
And we pay
With our precious time
And shattered illusions that we know just what to expect
I wanna know
I wanna know why
I wanna know why I’ve got nothing to say
I wanna know
I wanna know why
I wanna know why I can’t just walk away
Walk away
From his endless nightmare
And leave him standing there with the world in his eyes
Leave him there
Standing in a corner
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
