Dweller


When you take shelter Are you running away, Or are you keeping safe? When I was young I wanted an escape Now that I'm older I wish I had stayed Tucked away behind a heavy door Lie memories of a life before Outside that lies choas, confusion and often regret It all seems so different from the way it was imagined in your head How could this be where all other roads lead? Where is the innocence we were told to believe? Was it ever really here or We're we deceived? Now I wonder if it's too late to leave
