VERSE I

I built it tall, I called it mine

Every piece fell right in line

And I did it all for you

Wired tight, no wasted space

Every need locked in its place

And I did it all for you

PRE-CHORUS I

So, don’t complain and just stand by

CHORUS

And now, you’re caught in your room

By design

You’re lost in your mind

‘Til the end of time

And you can’t see the signs

By design

Cause you’re locked in your room

‘Til the end of time

They say I’m better off this way

VERSE II

I wake up to the same routine

Same four walls, same skin on me

But it tans just right under the sun

And I’m plugged in just to feel alive

But something in me feels like I’ve been denied

Cause I can’t see the light blinded by the sun

PRE-CHORUS II

But I don’t ask, I just comply

Stuck in my room it’s so sublime

Going nowhere as time goes by

But I’m breaking on the inside

CHORUS

And now, I’m caught in my room

By design

I’m lost in my mind

‘Til the end of time

Cause I’m blind to the signs

By design

And I’m locked in my room

‘Til the end of time

BRIDGE

Feel it break, I hear it calling

There’s something real beyond it all

How can I be so stupid?

And still feel satisfied not to know

CHORUS

And now, we’re caught in our rooms

By design

We’re losing our minds

‘Til the end of time

Cause we’re blind to the signs

By design

And we’re locked in our rooms

‘Til the end of time

I gotta leave it all behind
