Splinter – Arena lyrics

I know a place, locked doors, windows & gates
White tiles and gray... desparing scenery
And I know a face, young girl, out of place
Saddened & strange
Makes no sounds at all
locked away just like a doll.
-
Anna woke today
Rubs her eyes is so afraid
And she wonders why she stays
With the other kids in the mental wing
Poor Anna, sits and waits.
-
Slave to the bore
Pills...they just bring me more
Ears hear no sounds, memories just bring be down
And I see them with toys
Parents with girls and boys
Sleepy they read
Promised to visit me
Repeating in my memory
-
Anna loves to wave
Watches them most everyday
And she wonder when she'll play with the other kids
But she thinks of better days
If she could she'd run away
But she screams aloud and says
"I'm not like the other kids"
In the mental wing, for Anna sits and waits
-
I know a place
Young girl, tears on her face
Saddened it's strange
She makes no sounds at all...
-
Anna sleeps today
Cradles up and slips away
And I wonder what she takes to reduce the pain
And her memories of Anna...slowly fade
