lyrics

He sits on the couch, sipping his tea
Ginseng from his parents, with honey and lemon
As frost gently dusts the window panes
The radiator purrs

Wrapped up in blankets, though just one would do
He laughs at a joke on a silver screen
Cozy and comfy, safe and secure
Oblivious he’s

Trapped inside
He’s trapped inside
He’s trapped inside
No locks and no bars, no cuffs and no guards to keep him

A text from a friend, an invite for drinks
“The girl you were asking about will be there”
He thinks for a second then turns his phone off”
Oblivious, oblivious he’s…

And he’ll never know why he waits there alone, just waiting for someone to show him the way

No locks and no bars, no cuffs and no guards no hope as his heart slowly fades
