Running away

They sit in a corner.

And stare at me.

I ignore them -

It's a little game we play.

 

Change the world

Cause, oh boy, I'm okay!

 

They still sit there.

I ignore them.

It's a game we play.

 

Blinking in the dark

A reminder:

"We're not going anywhere!" :)

 

Poor thing, run to me!

I'll know what to say.

 

It's a game I play! -

I will comfort you

just to trick myself.
