the sunlight pierces my eyes

When the clock strikes noon,

And it gets just so bright,

With a crowd shuffling to and fro

When i hear the church bells i can no longer endure

Stepping out from indoor, a light hits the concrete and pierces my eye

rolls back in my head and i collapse,

Shuddering in search of darkness to find light

need to hide

the light and the talking and the walking

about, about, about

my dungeon, my dungeon

i wish to bring thee

a portable escape in my pocket

yes, when the short arm's at 12,

the spell cast upon me reaches its end

I'm turning, turning

the smile is burning

laughs become wailing

it's very important I'm not outside

it's very important I'm not with others

the only thing i must do is find the deck behind the cave

with the echoes of each chime my feet get heavier,

and so i run, i run until i can no longer walk

but i make it, as i always do

to the deck, the deck

although it's noon the address of the deck offers darkness as soon as I step over

covered by the heaving mass of water,

my eyes find their rightful place, outside of my head

under the water, i can at last

drain

no, i can't breathe under water

but i can moan under water
