shut me down.

when the world shuts its eyes to you,
that's when you finally start to live.
they've closed the doors.
and there are no windows.
so now it's you and your mind
your heart
your soul.
and you began to think,
why'd you ever think this would be bad?
no one to bring the pain,
no one to force anything upon you,
no one to leave you behind.
so the world shut you down.
and you pushed right back.
you knocked down those doors,
hell, you knocked down those walls.
and know all you can say is:
thanks for closing your eyes.
