[Verse 1] Fluorescent lights hum a flatline tune Shadows stretching across the waiting room The clock on the wall is a guillotine blade Counting the errors that I already made Linoleum floors, the smell of bleach and fear I'm shouting her name but there's nobody here Just a plastic chair and a magazine page And a chest full of terror turning into rage. [Chorus] And the corridor stretches for a million miles Behind the fake warmth of the doctors' smiles They talk in a language that I can't translate While I sit in the dark and I negotiate With the walls, with the dust, with the ghost in the air Is anybody listening? Does anyone care? [Verse 2] A nurse walks past with a clipboard in hand I’m begging for answers she don't understand "Status is critical, step back behind the line" But my heart is trapped in her chest, not mine I look at my hands, they are shaking and cold Holding onto a promise that’s starting to fold Every door is a barrier, every lock is a sin And I’m pacing the floors just to crawl out of my skin. [Chorus] And the corridor stretches for a million miles Behind the fake warmth of the doctors' smiles They talk in a language that I can't translate While I sit in the dark and I negotiate With the walls, with the dust, with the ghost in the air Is anybody listening? Does anyone care? [Bridge] The vending machine hums a terrible drone I never have felt so entirely alone The walls are closing, the ceiling is low And there’s nowhere, there’s nowhere for me to go! [Outro] Just a white corridor. Just a closed door. I never knew silence could hurt so much more. [Fade out]
