lyrics

Darkened room
Music and lyrics: Tom Huissen

I am sitting alone
In a dark, darkened room
And I am going through another
Long and sleepless doom

I don’t wanna live here no more
I don’t wanna live here no more

And the curtains they are drawn
They are drawn both day and night
And my eyes they are sensitive
Too sensitive to the light

I don’t wanna live here no more
I don’t wanna live here no more

In the wee wee hours
Of the morning scared and afraid
Well I’m putting on my blue shades
Hide and isolate

I don’t wanna live here no more
I don’t wanna live here no more
I don’t wanna live here no more
I don’t wanna live here no more
