is there more that i could say?

it's finally raining hard

but i've lost my only playing card

in a room with no backyard

where the children once ran around

now they're gone without a sound

and there's no one left to see 

just a shadow and fading memory

i look for you but there's only me

to unlock a door with a useless key

and the door is old and gray

so it doesn't matter anyway

there's lost love i can't repay

is there more that i could say? 

i'm just a Jack inside his box

behind the walls of a paradox

with the ticking of the clocks

counting passing minutes of each day

is there more that i could say?
