Shelter

Separation from everything.

You boarded up your mind

With whatever you could find.

You chose shelter over the storm

So you could still smile.

You thought hiding from the truth

Would be worthwhile.

I'd rather be awake and fight the misery.

I'll waste away if I stay asleep in my apathy.

I'm not satisfied, trapped in a lie

Locked inside, self-defiled

Mental Suicide

I see further and I feel more finely

And if that burden be the curse

With which I must walk the earth

It's a price worth paying.

Does the body rule the mind?

Or does the mind rule the body?

I think I finally know.

We have to fold something to make ends meet

We're backed into a corner

And forced to live on our knees.

They shun those who think

And silence those who speak.

But fuck authority,

Leaders make us weak.

Shelter your mind

For a little while

From the cold

Truth outside.

Evacuate.
