Used to be my Panic Room
The other side of me
Where I slept and woke by turns
And nothing seemed real
I was
feeding on your life
Peering through the hole
And it scared me out
Someday
You would knock on my door
Sweet shelter of
mine
Iam freezing without
Sweet shelter of mine
Iam dying without
Cover up my twisted thoughts
Shattered all
around
Muffled sounds
Recurring dreams
Melatonin smile
Used to be my 302
The other side of light
Trap of my
own
That helped me deal
With what I lost inside
Sweet shelter of mine
Iam freezing without
Sweet shelter of mine
Iam
dying without
Sweet shelter of mine

Iave tried to make self-portraits before
But they always turn out so
contrived
Iave spent too much time
Correcting light and shade
Hiding wrinkles
Blurring scars
Iave tried to make
self-portraits before
Through my eyes
Just see myself
Now I know
Iam not in denial
That I need someone else
To see
me
