[Verse 1] She counts the minutes by a rigid rule Playing the part, trying to stay cool Every step is measured, every move is planned Holding the pieces in a trembling hand She wants to slip, wants to break the frame To see if anyone would call her name Testing the boundaries, pushing at the edge But she does what she’s told, standing on the ledge Of her own mind [Chorus] And she sits on the floor in the dead of the night Staring at the wall in the pale blue light Wondering how long it would take them to see If she wasn't exactly who she's supposed to be Locked in a room where the shadows persist Wondering how long till they notice she doesn't exist [Verse 2] The clock is ticking and the routine binds An invisible script that she always finds She feeds the expectations, fills the empty space But feels like a ghost with a familiar face Testing the silence, waiting for a sound To see if anybody’s looking around But the world keeps turning while she plays along Singing the words to a quiet song [Chorus] And she sits on the floor in the dead of the night Staring at the wall in the pale blue light Wondering how long it would take them to see If she wasn't exactly who she's supposed to be Locked in a room where the shadows persist Wondering how long till they notice she doesn't exist [Bridge] [Screamed] [Intense] Just a shadow in the hallway light! Disappearing in the middle of the night! Does anybody see the cracks in the wall?! Does anybody care if the boundaries fall?! [Desperate] She keeps the line, she plays the game! But underneath it all, it feels the same! [Chorus] [Heavy Drums] [Explosive Vocals] And she sits on the floor in the dead of the night Staring at the wall in the pale blue light Wondering how long it would take them to see If she wasn't exactly who she's supposed to be Locked in a room where the shadows persist Wondering how long till they notice she doesn't exist [Outro] [Melancholic] [Fading] Does she exist... Just a shadow now... Fading out... Yeah, she's fading out...
