Cover my ears and pretend I am somewhere else

That is what I do many nights in my house

Will the shouting stop soon or will it stream on like a broken record?

How much longer can this last?

Close my eyes and imagine,

I am in a differnet place away from all of this hate

There is no fighting here and the yelling all seems to disappear

How much longer can this last?

Contract my lungs and there is no more yelling.

I am in a new dimension away from all the detestation

Here I am safe, this is my hiding place

How much longer can this last?
