Lyrics[]
Michael McKeller lives in a different world.
Oh what a different.
Nobody seems to care.
Waits at the window, look how he's lying there
pretends he's dying there. Nobody seems to care.
Isnt it clear nobody noticed, serving his heart on a tray now.
Isnt it queer look and you'll notice bowing his head.
Talks to the mirror, he's standing in the rain.
Tries to escape the pain, his pain remains the same.
Talks to the mirror, feels he must run away to pray now, away now.
Nothing's for Christmas.
Fighting, trying to hide his fears, crying but noone hears.
Inside he hides the tears.
Feels he must run away.
