Not Here

(buzzing...)

Hello?

...

(is anybody there?)

Every hallway looks the same

Different turns but nothing changes

Faded walls and empty rooms

Like somebody left in a hurry

(so long ago...)

The lights stay on

The air stays still

No voices

No footsteps

Just me

And this strange feeling

I shouldn't be here

(not here...)

Cause something feels wrong

(I know...)

I can't explain it

Everything looks normal

But nothing feels right

And I keep walking

Through rooms that don't belong

Looking for a doorway

That isn't there at all

(not there...)

The lights keep humming

Like they know my name

And every place I find

Feels exactly the same

(the same...)

I don't know where I'm going

I don't know where I've been

I just know this place

Feels like a dream

I can't wake up from

(wake me up...)

I swear somebody was here

(was here...)

A chair pulled out

A door left open

Like I arrived

A second too late

(too late...)

Sometimes I hear something

A voice

A movement

But when I turn around

There's nothing waiting

(nobody...)

And maybe that's the part

That scares me most

Not what I can see

But what I can't

And I keep walking

Through rooms that don't belong

Looking for a memory

Of where I came from

(where I came from...)

The lights keep humming

Overhead again

And every path I take

Just leads me back to then

(back again...)

I don't know what I'm chasing

I don't know what I missed

I just know this place

Feels like it's slowly

Forgetting I exist

(don't forget me...)

Maybe this isn't a place

(maybe...)

Maybe it's a feeling

Maybe it's every moment

Between leaving

And arriving

Maybe it's loneliness

With walls around it

Maybe it's what silence

Looks like

(looks like...)

No direction

(no direction...)

No ending

No beginning

Just

Buzzing lights

Empty rooms

And me

(just me...)

And I keep walking

Cause standing still feels worse

Through endless spaces

That feel like a curse

The lights keep humming

And nobody appears

And every room feels full

Of people who aren't here

(not here...)

I don't know where home is

I don't know if it's real

I just know this place

Feels exactly

Like how loneliness feels

(loneliness...)

(buzzing...)

Hello?

Anybody?

(please...)
