You should see the view from down here

The walls go way, way up my dear

A sheet of glass on top so clear

Squint just right it'll disappear


Come down, come join, come here and see

My misery loves company

I ask, I beg, I cry, I plea

If not for you, then please for me


There used to be other people here

All of us, together, sharing our fear

Not as trapped as we'd appear

With all hearts beating strong and near


They left all at once, so fast, in a pack

None of them thinking to take a glance back

If they had maybe they'd have paused in their track

To stop me from slipping back through the crack


But they did not, so I sit alone here

Watching the world from a one way mirror

Pulled on all sides by gloom and drear

Counting down to the day that I disappear


If you stop, listen close, you may overhear

Me screaming at the world from way down here
