Books make it seem a little less monstrous outside
but then everytime I take a step out
I see the monsters in this world and run back in.
I'm not scared I'm just protecting myself,
Trying to avoid wounds that would leave me with scars
My window shows me everything i want to see,
the plants,the trees and the beautiful sky
but every time I take a step outside
I'm surrounded by buildings and polluted air.
And I guess I'm just tired of getting disappointed
And I'm just tired of stepping out into this world
so one day I decided I'd just stay in,
and I guess I got lost somewhere inside my head
Because I never found my way out.
