Yellow Wallpaper - Run Level Zero

What is one to do when no one takes you by the hand

This nervous condition / shadows play across the wall

In certain lights I can see a different shade

The pattern crawls / the pattern calls

Why must I be the one that has to suffocate

Why must I linger / every moment filled with

Lies, remove the lies / lies, see the lies

Beyond the lies / the truth is written in her face

A formless figure / at the edge of vision

Skulking, hiding / in this solemn, sleepy place

A lurid orange / a sickly sulphur tint

Why must I stay / everything’s a mystery

Mental chains / every moment filled with

Lies, remove the lies / lies, see the lies

Behind the pattern the shapes grow clearer every day

It’s like a bad dream / she is standing on the road

Shake the bars / shake it hard in the moonlight

Yellow walls / soon I will break out

Unblinking eyes / follow every move I make

She advances´/ every moment filled with

Lies, see through the lies / lies, see the lies

Everything will be OK / every wall will decay
