Strolling down the tunnel of retreat,
I am hearing nothing but my heartbeat,
exhausted and tired as I walk through,
I see a glass house with a man that I knew,
He is sitting there as still as he can,
talking to a very tall man,
I continue my walk though I'm tempted to stop,
at the end of the tunnel there is a very steep drop,
below that I see a tree,
and a bird thats flying close to me,
There is a lake with trees aside,
one of them is where I'll hide,
hide from what I do not know,
I hope my fear doesnt show,
Regrettfully I have to leave,
it seems for days that I will grieve,
I am out of the tunnel and on my way,
I am determined to find a sunny day,
away from the tunnel, to which I did roam,
Anywhere as long as I can call it home...
