I held my breath in that momentary lapse of reality,
years flew by and I\'m still holding all my air inside.

You always looked at me as though I was crazy,
I was crazy but not in the way you saw me as.

Madness was a battleshout back then,
\'tis better being mad than being sad.

I guess I somehow hoped you\'d see me,
I couldn\'t look so I hoped you\'d see.

There\'s always been a barrier \'tween me and you,
well, to be fair, \'tween me and anyone else.

I know it\'s there \'cause I put it there,
in all it\'s impermeable papier mache glory.

I had to shield myself somehow,
too bad I read the instructions backwards...

It\'s not so much a shield,
more a fence to keep me inside.

I never thought I would need a frickin\' door...
