metal walls

I think my inner child is afraid of me

and I don't know why

but it's hard for me to find her at all

she knows the terrain

of the lost libraries of my mind

and she can hide well in there

while I can't even seem to find

the way in, half the time

hello?

but all I hear are echos

or sometimes, not even that

my voice is just sucked into the darkness

I think she's built walls and cages

flat grey silver bars and chained locks

to keep me out

or maybe it's the other way around

and I built them in my sleep

to keep her in

hello?

I want to talk to you

I think

I just want you to be happy

but I don't know how to find you

and it feels like

I've lost something
