Behind a Closed Door

Shut the door behind me Shun out the chaotic world My room is my savior The only safe haven Where I can be me A colorful world surrounds my walls Comforting me from the hatred outside Blocking the chaos that slowly seeps through Trying to get me to fall into despair Music calms the soul To drive away the dark A lullaby for the ears To drive out the hate A house full of chaos and dissonance The only salvation I have here Lies within my room That keeps me sane. They don't know How fragile I can be Like a china doll I can break to pieces. Don't they know the tears I shed When they break me down To the lowest point When I just can't take it. Can't they see I deserve my solitude Just wanting to be left alone Give me my fair share of silence So my brain can speak to me. Don't they understand The dreams that I have planned If they just learn to hold thy tongue Change so I can find a shard of happiness In a house that's so full of dissonance If they can't learn to accept the facts I'll just do things my own way Won't let them bring me down They'll never see me cry. So I'll stand my ground Staying where I am Being true to me Don't care what they say Stupidity is over-rated Anger can kiss it Sadness can just go away Screaming you need to shut it. When I'm behind my door Lost in my own world There's no need for negativity Let myself be lost in my imagination Where my room is my salvation.
