The only shelter is my mind

[ckeo]

I fear this days page in my journal will remain empty
cant think of anything to believe in
A wave of conformity swept across the nation
it duck dived under me

My shelter cant weather this storm, I dont understand
the walls come crashing down where the sky erupted
as I lay beneath the rubble bruised but not beaten
I open my eyes and see a tarp above me

I think to myself, thank god.. No, I'm not homeless!
I cant comprehend why people think I should feel heartache
A long time ago, in my mind I built a fortress
it towers so high and the walls are strong to protect me

I live to appreciate the simple things in life
I dont need shiny things for comfort or security
welling away is the only thing you can do
as I retreat to my fortress.. nothing left to lose.
