And visit if only for a day
This world, my world is closing in
The walls are thickening
The anger is roaring
The fear is multiplying
The rules are ridiculous
And if I dare break them, there are consequences
Or so they say
The unwritten rules that rule my world
This world, my world just will not do
Let me take a break inside your world, if only for a day
