Got caught up in violence

A world scarred by shadows knocking on my door

Why'd you have to leave so soon?

Got caught up in a blue?

But my head's stuck to the ceiling

And I'm not ever coming down

(And so I'll see you soon)

Sleep carefully

Keep an eye on your dreams

Cause they're not what they seem

We were beautiful people

We're bound to our demons

But still breathing

And can you hear his soft words?
Referencing a mysterious figure whose words are gentle or comforting.
Can you understand my hurt?

And are we in the same world?

And is your mind a desert?
Pondering if the mind is desolate or barren.
And can you understand my hurt?
Reiterating the plea for understanding the speaker's emotional pain.
I'm backed into walls
Feeling cornered or trapped in challenging situations.
And so it's back to the ward
Being compelled to return to a place of confinement or psychological distress.
And I don't have a clue
