It Must Be Scary


It must be scary, in the real world

where people run rampant and uncaged

I think I'm safer in this place

with the peaceful whitwalls

and the crazies all caged

atleast in here I know where I stand

no rules of engagement I can be who I am

you say I'm insane for staying in here

well I think youre crazy for living out there

where no one is who they say

and you never know where you stand

where people fight for positions

and speak with opposition

I like it much better in the silence 

secluded with only myself to speak to

yes, I think it's scary in the real world

where people run rampant and uncaged

I'm much much safer in this place.
