they tell me to come out and play
but I like it in my head
it's safer this way.

they want more of me
they claim, it's not enough
poker faces, I still don't bluff.

I was once in danger, with no place to go
but my imagination was there
now's it's all I know.

what they don't see is, I like my fantasy world;
it allows me to be free,
reality brings too much misery.
