Jay W. Allen - Immune

You knew I wouldn't answer
When you called me yesterday
For it's getting so much harder
To carry on this way
Did you hear what happened
When I tried to make the news
I thought that we could change the world
No one wanted to

Just for a moment
I had to turn away
And find another point of view
A playback was refused

Halfway through a short life
I tried to stop in mid flight
Condemned to touch the ground
I found myself alone

There was only one exit
My flight was not detected
I just have to rewrite
My restless serenades

Just for a moment
I had to turn away
Who was supposed to feel the shame
When no one would take the blame

It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune

Just like a prisoner
I found escape through dreaming
The world keeps turning me
With fate like carousels

I sat in my empty room
I sent out my distress signals
They never could be heard
The walls were closing in

It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune

You knew I wouldn't answer
When you called me yesterday
