SotW – My Empty Room

By Queensryche
Old, but unfortunately something I used to relate so much with. This short little song was part of the epic Operation Mindcrime album that set the group on a very unique plateau. For me, it just felt like someone else out there knew what is was like when I was full-tilt depressed…

Empty room today
And here I sit
Chalk outline upon the wall
I remember tracing it
A thousand times, the night she died.
Why? [why? ] Theres no sleep today, I cant pretend
When all my dreams are crimes
I cant stand facing them
Now who will come
To wash away my sins
Clean my room, fix my meals
Be my friend?
