and you ask why
this is why!
the walls I erected
were to stay protected

I cannot let you
touch my soul
it seems stupid
but I know

it's a move I don't know where I learnt
the reflex of saving yourself, I guess
the soul wants to exist, nonetheless
and you stand in its way
(no bitterness)

just a realization
of why things are what they are
if we abide, we will survive
lots of bureaucracy and diplomacy
to stay alive
you call me many things,
but you are so ******* blind

I cannot let you win
you say it's not war but for me,
within,
it is

We might love each other
but it's better to stay away
hell ensues, if we dare not to behave
stay away, for peace's sake
stay away, to carry on every day

because
I cannot let you
feel my soul
it seems avoidant
but I know
