I feel the need to conceal
My thoughts and everything I feel
The exposure of such things
Oh just think of the pain it brings
To those all around
I feel the need to retreat
And declare to the world my defeat
I believe it is best for all
That I take my fall
And live in the underground
Do not try to wake me
Your attempts will fail
Because all you will see
Is my face so pale
I feel the need to hide
My face from the outside
The world won't stand still anymore
Just let me close the door
And I will succum
I feel the need to remember
The reasons for this surrender
I have no use
For this abuse
Of the person I've become
