When the years come round and round And time seems to evaporate The winter around me fuzzes up a little And I get cozy with myself On a warm feathered pillow And slip more and more into solitude Once a break from reality, now a surreal daydream A shelter from the rain that never stops pouring down Pink sheets and a hot tea, comfortable Good vibes only A warm space heater in the winter cold Slipping into solitude Protects me from the thunderstorms And so I grow my roots in deeper And retreat further and further from the noise Walking backwards into solitude Here, what matters only is the surrounding sounds Of my breathe, my Heartbeat, my mind My fingers tap tapping away on my keyboard The occasional music singing to me in my earbuds As I slip into solitude My thoughts become a theater drama The only drama that really matters Amongst the chatter and the gossip Which I've shut out long ago Slipping into solitude I build myself a bed and a kitchen down there Play Hide and Seek from the world But mostly just hide, too deep to seek As I slip into solitude Because I am I and you are you And the further down I slippidy slip The less fuzzy the boundaries become You are you, walking the city streets and I am I A heartbeat, a breathe, frozen in time Falling asleep and waking up again In my fuzzy PJs Warm tea, feather pillow, shelf of journals I am I Alone, undiscovered, hidden Slipping my way into solitude
