Inside



Hide away,
Hide away,
It’ll be okay.
Shut the world out,
Draw the curtains,
And shut yourself forever away.
Hide away,
Hide away,
Close the door and lock it.
Don’t allow visitation,
This is your life every day.
Darken the room,
Flip the lights off,
And never show your face.
Hide away,
Hide away,
People are overrated
And they never understand,
So that’s why you hide away
For years and years.
Ignore the rumors
That are spread,
Ignore the lies
That are told.
Kill the lights,
Close the shutters,
Sit in silence,
And hide yourself
Forever away.
