run and hide

I like these days when nothing happens

and I can stay in bed

and not be afraid of the choices I made

and the day that lies ahead

I'm always worried about something

so I choose to stay inside

where safety can be exciting to me

and I don't have to run and hide

all of my life I've been a dreamer

reality is not my friend

the answer for me lies in fantasy

I know I can always pretend

real life is too much for me

believe me, I've tried

I always have faith in being safe

and I don't have to run and hide

          I'm dreading the coming tomorrow 

          I'm saving myself from today

          isolation is what I'll borrow

          to keep the demons away

maybe somebody can help me

in this battle with myself

somebody who might have a clue

to make me into someone else

now I'll put myself in the corner

and wait till the panic subsides

and here I will stay until there comes a day

where I won't have to run and hide
