Immune

Outside a fire is raging

In here it’s safe and cool

I know there’s danger out there

But I just play the fool

There’s trouble in the desert

Too blind to wonder why

My world is here inside me

I see nobody die

Lambs are now led to slaughter

I try to fall asleep

Pretending they’re so happy

I smile while counting sheep

Lost in my own illusion

Too deaf to hear the call

I never saw the writing

I never read the wall

Tune out the empty feeling

I think I nearly cried

Inside these walls around me

The world is safe inside
