My Empty Room - Queensrÿche

Empty room today

And here I sit

Chalk outline upon the wall

I remember tracing it

A thousand times, the night she died.

Why?

There’s no sleep today, I can’t pretend

When all my dreams are crimes

I can’t stand facing them

Now who will come

To wash away my sins

Clean my room, fix my meals

Be my friend?

Charged with several murders, Nikki is committed to State Hospital to

Overcome his addiction.

Awaiting trial, he suffers insomnia and is

Delerious.

Searching through his past, he tries to find reasons for

His actions and his weaknesses.

Staring into the mirror, he sees

A stranger.
