Lead me to try to veil my thoughts
To want to retract back to my shell
And to be fearful of what's ahead
Oh why must you,
In every attempt I make
To let you into my space,
Take that step into it
Oh why must you
Think that it's nothing to me
Assume my resilience
And stride so senselessly
Oh why must you
Tell me the whispers within
To get me an entry into
The expanse you occupy
Oh why must you
Send me running to sleep
Visit me in it
And wake me up from it
Oh why must you
Be that...
To whom I am...
When it could have been another
Why must you...
