Sheltered
Numbness comes and goes
Immunity to life, perhaps
Although beauty glows
Failure proudly claps
Tragic stories fill my ears
Things I cannot fathom
So I choose not to hear
My fuzzy muffs, I grab 'em
Sheltered by a cardboard box
Built sturdy by my lies
Preparing for when reality knocks
To save my virgin eyes
It shields the wind of a broken heart
A no trespassing sign in front
There shall be no end, if I never start
This is my grandest stunt
