Outside - Aviators

It is my own home’s affliction

Behind bars within a cage

I’ve been marked the plague’s possession

And I’ve been locked in for days

There’s a ruckus in the streets

Those I begged to stay inside

Soon the noise gives way to silence

For a moonlit lullaby

Oh my mind

Oh my mind

Thoughts are fleeting all the time

I feel bones begin to splinter

As my fever starts to climb

Who’s to blame

Who’s to blame

For the blood that wrought this shame

Now my ears have started ringing

To a symphony of pain

My blood’s contagion

Brings transformation

But all I want before the doom

Is to see the streets outside this room

Don’t leave me waiting

My lantern’s fading

And I won’t be awake to see

The monster that becomes of me

Let me see the sky one last time

Come home and take me outside
