a wall full of windows

and no people behind

the window panes full of stains

from the pigeons, the rats

the pigeons, the rats

 

<feeding prohibited>

that‘s what the sign says

does that include me

please people feed me

please people feed me

 

where are the faces to the sounds

i can hear your voices that surround

me all day and all night long

 

i can hear you yelling in the stairway

you complain about everything that crosses your way

please people feed me

please pleople feed me

 

the curtains don‘t change

they are hardly ever pulled back

no chance to ever track

somebody down

no chance to track somebody down

 

at night the lights go on

behind the curtains

there must be someone

somebody is awake

but no faces to the lights appear

there‘s only sound in here
