I wake up and I'm surrounded by rain And in a little garden contained Where the air is so dry that I cannot breathe
So they say, "Maybe you will think of this as your home a bit?" They can say they love me all they want. They're never going to mean it.
They tell me to do what I want Give me toys to play with, a sandbox to explore But my eyes are open to the truth This kindness is a ploy and nothing more
Now I wonder why I’m even in this place Thinking about it frightens me So, hastily, I throw all the thoughts away Staring in silence, my mind begins to decay
Still, I keep looking on. Still, all my hope lives on. Still, I keep freezing to my very core But this little garden will never let me hear anything anymore
If, when morning arrives, the rain starts again I'll make sure that I'm prepared ‘Cause if I can just kill some time, I'll feel better then So until you come for me, I think I might break this hourglass
(Loop, loop, in the miniature garden...) (Loop, loop, on a rainy day...) x2
I wake up and I'm surrounded by rain And in this empty garden contained Where the air is so stale, it's starting to rot
If I try to suppress my thoughts, maybe I’ll start feeling sick? All these words surrounding me seem harmless, but they manage to stick
They told me to do what I want Gave me toys to play with, a sandbox to explore But I'd always seen them watching me It was all deceit and nothing more
Now I wonder why I'm even here at all Thinking about it pains me, so let's Talk it all through, release it from our heads But with no one to converse with, there's only dread
Will I finally find some happiness, if I sing out here in the rain? Just being born in this world invited chaos, and leaving would result in so much more pain But I know either way, their smiles will never change Maybe, to be a human that’s all that it takes In that case, I'd rather remain a machine than become a fake
Still, I’ll keep wishing for more. Still, I will hope to be more. Still, I will love from my heart's deep core, But this little garden is made by someone else I don't know anymore...
If, from this awful dream, I’m ever to wake, I've got to do what they say So if I can just kill my heart, I will be okay
Now, I bring myself to stall. Now, I will scream through it all! Now there's regret, which I feel creeping in So my gears are getting stuck, and my efforts don't seem to be worth a thing
If, from this awful dream, I'm ever to wake, I know I just have to wait ‘Cause if I can just kill my heart, I will be okay. So until that time comes by, I think I might break this hourglass
(Loop, loop, in the miniature garden...) (Loop, loop, on a rainy day...) x8 until end
