Through My Dusty Windows

Through my dusty windows
I see the shadows dance by;
Kissing lovers,
Playing children,
Caring parents.
But I'll stay home,
for I don't belong.

Through my dusty windows
I see the seasons pass by;
Growing buds,
Blooming flowers,
Colourful leaves.
But soon everything's gone.
Way too soon.

Through my dusty windows
I see the stars shine bright;
Casting light into me,
Twinkling without sorrow,
Far away dreams.
But then the sun pushes them aside,
So bright that I am blinded.

In my broken house
I sit and watch
It all go by
And I can't move.
Sometimes I wish to get out
But then I realize
That it'd shatter my soul.
