Retreat to my castle within
I sing my songs like a blue book hymnal
A worn pair of brown leather gloves
meant something to someone close to me
When will I transform to the protagonist I've framed out
hospitably offering a hand out
Instead of biting the skin before it swallows me
I can be whole or home, never both
It's a push pin into a cork board
the thin needle's signature
into my palm I press a hatred tied to the things I love the most
I'm oh so close to a rapture
I'm calling some pseudo-disaster
I wanna make home in my own skull
I wanna be born from the inside out
