Despite the world outside my window
I've pulled on
No light at the end of this tunnel of eigengrau
Only my will to guide myself along
Used to be convinced this was a safe haven
But these needles tell me otherwise
Why could I not see the signs of the walls caving in
Taught to be the light by the darkness
I've learned to pull on through the pain
Without any help from parents' empty wallets
As their paycheck went in their veins
