I just want to live a sheltered little life
No need to experience the horrors of this world
I've seen enough and heard enough and felt enough
There is no need to live it for myself
I can weep and rage and whimper for all the time in the world and yet nothing still will change
If I could cry an ocean of tears for all eternity
In the name of all the things that have happened to people and all that people have done
I would
But I can't
There's only so much a person of great sympathy can take
Of watching another's suffering
And so I shall weep in the silence of death and hurt
As long as I live
For all who have lived and died of immense sorrow
But I will live my sheltered little life
And try not to immerse myself in their suffering
If I did this would lead me to so many other souls
Through the porcelain of life and to the doors of death
And so I shall live my perfect little lie
And none shall notice
Living in this world of deceit
