Hide Away Home

 What do you think
As you lock the door
And close the shades
And hide yourself far away
From the world
Again and again
What do you say to yourself as
You turn off the phone
Though it wouldn’t ring
In this house of pain
And shut yourself in the dark
Of your room
Again and again and again
It used to be something else your life
It was full of folks and work and fun
And looking out for number one
And love and wife and sex and fights
You were just like the ones
That you saw around your life
Again and again
And now it’s just pain
And dark and fear of shadows darker
You lost your way and there
Is no spark to light the flame
To find your way back out again
So you just hide out and shake
In fear
Of thoughts in your head and
What they mean
And what did you think as
You closed that door for the first time
And now every night
Of your empty life
Again and again
I cry for your damn pain
So what do you say
