In that windowless building where we used to go
I didn't want to be there but I couldn't let it show
There the men they wore cheap suits 'cause they didn't have a dime
And they didn't have hobbies 'cause they didn't have the time
And the nonsense that came from the books that we read
And the songs that will forever get stuck in my head
And the hours I wasted weeks after week
Counting tiles on the ceiling wondering if I would ever be free
And I watched as they bowed their heads closing their eyes
As they'd plead their requests to the man in the sky
And I wondered if maybe they were all insane
Or if I was the one who was fucked in the brain
And even though part of me believed it was true
How could I not, it was all that I knew
I promised myself I'd no longer pretend
And I never stepped foot in that windowless building again
