The Apartment

1. All the clocks have stopped counting time in here since you left
I was emotionally robbed, I call it a crime, I fear it was a theft

of my selfesteem, and I'd like to scream
but you can't hear me through these walls
give it back to me
every night I seem, to be having same dream,
the saddest creature cralws
out of the dark to see....
the broken world

chorus
I'm just a carpet shark, raised in confinement,
at nights it gets really dark, in the apartment,
and the days never seem to start, I never meant,
these walls to keep us apart, in the apartment

2. All the curtains are closed, but I guess it's pretty day outside,
I am overdosed by selfpity, I can't stand the light

can't enter the game, can't conquer my shame,
I left myself outside,
I locked myself in,
who's there to blame, I whisper out my name,
in front of mirror in the night,
saying everything...
is your fault

chorus
I'm just a carpet shark, raised in confinement,
at nights it gets really dark, in the apartment,
and the days never seem to start, I never meant,
these walls to keep us apart, in the apartment

3. I have just two chairs, one by the table and the other by the door
I have sick thougths and nightmares, I have broadband cable, don't need anything more

when I finally go insane, I run out in the rain,
with no shoes on to feel,
the water by my toes
can't shut down the pain, can't control my brain,
and none of this is real,
and no one really knows...
who I am

chorus
I'm just a carpet shark, raised in confinement,
at nights it gets really dark, in the apartment,
and the days never seem to start, I never meant,
these walls to keep us apart, in the apartment

come inside if you dare, before you die,
show me the colors you wear, you're a butterfly,
I'm not going anywhere, and I never lie,
show me the colors you wear, you are beautiful butterfly
and I'm a carpet shark, I'm a carpet shark
I'm a carpet shark, I'm a carpet shark
