Close The Door

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
