Close The Door

Verse 1
I don't believe in dinosaurs, dragons, or aliens
Fairy tales are glorified lies
Even though there are spooks everywhere
Danger lurks around
If you trade your freedom for safety
Then you're foolish
You've given away your power to decide
Rendered, tragically, subservient onto others
You'd be a typical beggar among attainable riches
A cautionary tale for the impressionable

Verse 2
The fakery of my foundation permeates through my senses
Like a virus absorbed into the body
I'm hungry for the reasons why I breathe, build and destroy
So I check the ground to walk over scattered shackles
I, fortunately, understand the power to decide
Rendered aware of my ability for self-determination
A sleepwalker, what I used to be
Until I awoke from my slumber and defeated pseudo-realities

Verse 3
You as one, you as deceptively whole
Observing me, judging me
I as one, I as partially broken
Incomplete but with a soul
However damaged it may seem
What I use is, ultimately, what I own
Especially the power I have to decide
Rendered, rightfully, accountable for my thoughts and words
This is a true representation of who I am as an individual
It is not, however, an endorsement to abandon
Your state of unrealized wealth

Chorus 1
Although a slave from conception, it is not my birthright
Although governed by the laws of water, my true identity holds
I am abused and tested upon
But my original record is unamendable
I close the door to the world
And settle within and around myself

Chorus 2
Close the door
Don't let whispers and looks of harmful intent
To settle within yourself
