I used to dream of lands
Just beyond the stars
I used to frolic in meadows
In the backseat of the car
I used to smile bright with laughter
I had very little fears
I used to be a burning light
Before the storm appeared
Then everywhere I turned
There was nothing but endless black
Four walls kept me enclosed
A sheet of cloth held me back
My smile became a memory
My body began to fade
Locked in a fortress of thoughts
Cloth and distance hid me away
The world went on without me
I struggled silently in the dark
I was hidden and alone
Trapped in my own miserable heart
I can’t remember when it was
That the walls finally broke down
I can’t remember when it was
That I returned to solid ground
But what I know for certain
A thing I’m sure is true
Is that in that little fortress
I began anew
