stuck in the suburbs, eyes glued to this screen<br /> wake me up when the world is clean.

A child with a closed door
Windows locked
Afraid of war.
A crack in the wall
Seeps in the cold air of inner brawl.
It slips in
And  in
And  in
The air is getting thin
And in
And in
Help the child within

 

Child, break the wall!
And plunge into it all
when a heart jumps into the cold
It recovers much faster
than a heart growing mold
