What I Crave

When the door's shut

Then just go away

It's not your attention I crave

I need to be alone

I want darkness

I crave the loud silence that press against me

All my life I've strived for your approval

And now I don't want any of it

You come to my side

Expecting a warm welcome

Guess again -

You won't get one

I retreat from reality

In my mind I can leave

All this behind

With screaming silence pressing on my ears

The comforting loneliness

When I shut the door

Just leave me alone

I don't want your attention anymore
