Is it truly safe though?
That one girl I always heard stories of
She has gone mad
She eloped but her husband died
So many rumors
I have always been paranoid
Jittery and without friends
Leaving home sometimes became a full day's event
The only person I had was my sister
She forced me out one day
So I walked to the dunes
I went out on the dunes near her home
I looked at the castle
And I laughed
No one can be there
It looks so cold!
I went back to a warm happy home
Even if only in my head
My mind was somewhere else
That lonely girl in the towering fortress
I should say hi
But I am far too scared
Dearest girl in the towering fortress,
I am sorry
I want to see you
But I cannot find you
Because I cannot find myself either
