So when will I learn to let someone in
To enter into my world of truth and lies
When will they see past the curtain
Sewn from ideals that keep pushing away
Made to keep my fragile heart safe
Away from being ripped out, trampled, and torn
Why can I never allow myself to love
Never allowed to fly and grow in the open
But rather, kept locked deep in thought
Truly, you must see what I'm trying to say
That underneath this hollow shell of a man
Lies treasure that has never been touched
And all my picking and making fun
Is just a way to keep this shell safe
From the quake that runs from my eyes
Emitting to all the nerves of my system
With every touch and every glace you shot
So I'm sorry - sorry once again
But I ask of you, just one thing
If you ever get inside, tell me what it's like
So I know that finally, someone got in
