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
