Open Out

i wanna be a shut in

i don’t wanna go out there

i’d have to be real i’d have to feel

and then pretend to care

i wanna be a shut in

i wanna a twenty watt bulb to be my sun

i don’t need any vitamin D

i don’t need company for fun

i wanna be shut in

and never open my curtains again

easy to imagine, yes

but oh so hard to explain

i wanna be a shut in

tuck away my ass, kiss the world goodbye

not have to do, not have to be;

wear another mask or smile another lie

i wanna be a shut in

i will not run this silly race

yeah i need some human interaction

just not all that face to face

i wanna be a shut in

it simply has to be this way

strip away my social self

and shun both night and day

i wanna be a shut in

no more cock and bull story show

its easier to feel closer

to people i don’t see or know

i wanna be a shut in

i wanna be on my own

i have accepted the difference

in being lonely and being alone
