Sheltered
in our world
sheltered
from these fears
far
from the evil
protected
from the tears
you
can't touch me here
you
wouldn't dare invade
leave
my world alone
leave
me in this shade
you
won't know me here
you
wouldn't recognize
the
dreams that I create
or
the glimmer in my eyes
you
can't find me here
you
would destroy all
collapsing
all I've built
ripping
away each wall
Leave
my world alone
I
have nothing more
everything
else is worthless
that
lays beyond these narrow shores.
Leave
my tools alone
they're
all that I need
when
you take them away
you
plant a cruel seed
you
think you will invade
you
think that I infest
your
precious world
your
precious little nest
You
think you can control
when
I don't even care
you
think you have such place
but
your still not welcome here
I'm
sorry that I need
I
just want to be at peace
not
to worry about whose or what's
to
voyage the inner seas.
Maybe
I am a fool
blinding
myself to what's real
but
how should I discover
when
I hate all things I feel.
