Hide Away

Hide from the light in your ivory tower
Lock yourself into that gilded cage
Wrap yourself tight with those linen bindings
Let the whole world pass you by
What hesitation is there in your sealing?
Why keep one foot in the outside space?
If you’re going to give up on dreaming and freedom
Just cut the cords and let it all hang
Give someone else a chance they could use
Let it go and retreat into your poison paradise
Watch your soul wither away in the shade
If that’s your desire then who am I to stop you?
Just do one last favor and drop the charade
Sever yourself from the outside completely
This half-hearted hideaway does nothing for you
