In a hospital
Why is there blood everywhere I look?
A needle's cover rests near my foot
The bed is always moving and making strange sounds
Everyone's treading in hospital gowns

They've taken my sneakers.
I miss my sneakers.
My feet are cold.

I am not special
I am not beautiful
I am nobody
And you'll not shelter me

I'm not special
I'm not wonderful
I am nobody
I am crazy

I live beside my bay window
I live beside myself
I watch the sky in circles, circles
My mind follows its circles and circles

I hang my head
I live beside my head
I live beside myself
I live beside you.

I am not special
I am not beautiful
I am nobody
And you'll not shelter me

I'm not special
I'm not wonderful
I am nobody
I am crazy

I am the piano
I strike myself when I strike the keys.
I am the pedal.
I am the pedal beneath my stomping feet.
The note goes on and on.

They've taken my sneakers.
I miss my sneakers.
My feet are cold.

The pain goes on and on
The pain is never ever gone
