Cold Case


I close myself to the public I close myself to you There are dangers inside my mind You might prick your fingers reaching inside So I lock up my head and my heart goes with it Don’t look at me like that Of course I love you I’m trying to protect you Don’t say I didn’t warn you My thoughts trickle out like blood I can tell they scare you You don’t know how to react So you curse me I feel nothing though I can’t because what I’ve locked up inside is a demon A sociopath and it’s your fault You made me show you It’s too bad you had to snoop You could have lived such a blissfully unaware and happy life And now you have none
