My World

Off into my world�don't follow me here.
It's forbidden to those of you who can't think,
Those of you who can't feel.
Off limits, but tempting, like a broken elevator.
You push the button, glance away like a fool,
And when the doors open, you step inside,
And you fall.
And your face meets the floor.
But you can't feel the pain.
Because you can't feel.
You don't know what it's like.
Off into my world�don't follow me here.
You could never survive.
There is no color, no music, in my world.
There is only emotion.
Emotions you could never feel.
Temptation is a sin.
Don't touch it, don't follow me here.
You'll die within a matter of seconds.
Such a cruel, unfeeling death.
I told you not to follow me.
This world was not made for you.
It belongs to me, and to the words,
And to the feelings that you will never have.
Find your own world,
And quit fucking with mine.
