My mansion is an oasis.
It's a scary place to live.
There are things lurking in the shadows,
When someone I love gets close
The things swallow them whole.
This mansion scares me,
But there's no escape.
It distorts my reality
Until nothing is real about it.
People I love come and go,
But they always take a part of me with them.
It's hard to let anyone in,
I'm too afraid to give away my heart.
