Cold Case

I close myself to the public
I close myself to you
There are dangers inside my mind
You might prick your fingers reaching inside
So I lock up my head and my heart goes with it
Don’t look at me like that
Of course I love you
I’m trying to protect you

Don’t say I didn’t warn you

My thoughts trickle out like blood
I can tell they scare you
You don’t know how to react
So you curse me
I feel nothing though
I can’t because what I’ve locked up inside is a demon
A sociopath and it’s your fault
You made me show you
It’s too bad you had to snoop
You could have lived such a blissfully unaware and happy life
And now you have none
