Spiral:-

Is there anyone out there? Is there anyone left in here?
It's been so long I don't think I know.
It's all changing, suddenly nothing seems so near,
The sky doesn't seem so low.
And we're all changing, and you aren't so near,
But I guess you just needed to go.
And it's the start of a brand new day.

So here is my soul, how much is it worth?
Because I've really nothing left to sell.
They've been taking and taking from the moment of my birth,
And they left me no stories to tell.
And you always said I had something of worth.
But I guess that I'm hiding it well.
And it's the final act of the day.

The man with the flag said "Believe the lie,
Because, Friend, you know that it's true"
I never stopped to ask him why,
Because deep down inside I knew.
And I never thought I'd believe this lie,
But I guess down inside that I do.
And the night sky has nothing to say.

There are so many walls in this small room,
But I still can't escape the floor,
And there are so many threads on this one loom,
That nobody could care anymore,
And there are so many lights just beyond this gloom,
But I guess that's what hoping is for.
And it's the start of a brand new day.
