This cloistered world of merry dancing fires,
all a crackling sham,
my table pen, paper, thoughts;
these bricks of air
I travel not beyond,
cloistered as I am.

Those tainted places I daren/'/t go,
for what I’ll see and being seen,
these chains my pride has wrapped me in;
I thought me kind but find I’m mean.

Not the schoolyard bully type
or the racist beast that barks,
I’ve the meanness of a petty mind
in my comfy cloistered park.

I eat what I want,
no thought to where, the cost or when.
I see the tracks, the neon glows
where souls go to end.
But my cloistered soul I’ve come to loathe
disallows my having friends.

This cloistered world of merry dancing fires,
all a crackling sham,
my table pen, paper, thoughts;
these bricks of air
I travel not beyond,
cloistered as I am.

Those tainted places I daren/'/t go,
for what I’ll see and being seen,
these chains my pride has wrapped me in;
I thought me kind but find I’m mean.

Not the schoolyard bully type
or the racist beast that barks,
I’ve the meanness of a petty mind
in my comfy cloistered park.

I eat what I want,
no thought to where, the cost or when.
I see the tracks, the neon glows
where souls go to end.
But my cloistered soul I’ve come to loathe
disallows my having friends.
