I'm sealed in the four corners of my mind
This fortress of solitude built with betrayal and hate
Mama once said don't trust people
They'll always bite you in the back
Flood you with poison from their fangs buried deep into your flesh
I think she was right,
I've always seen the world as a pile of dirt
That gets sullied daily by the product of the actions of men

Secluded in my own thoughts, alone with my fears
I trust this castle walls to keep me safe
Safer than anyone can make me feel
But this isn't the truth I speak to myself
No one really cares about me
Even when I'm cloaked by my shadows
Drowning in the darkness
Praying that somehow, I might see the light  
Set it right and move on to another version of myself
But I stopped thinking, i locked myself in the darkness
which was the easiest way out
