Black-out curtains make the day go away

I've become connected to this place

a great feeling of my chest rising and falling

when I leave this little room

Learning more about the world

in this place, I learn more

but without the painful feeling

of seeing it first-hand


Oh, How the world is crumbling

but I'd rather see

from these books and things

inside here

from outside

the pain, it hurts

So deep inside my heart

Right here


I feel safe inside this place

because the secrets know my face

and I know them too

The fear of being alone

it used to haunt my deepest fears
