i'm looking for the key to unlock my mind
have you seen it? i don’t know where it is
i have to unlock it, it's urgent
i need to retrieve something
i haven't been there in a while
it's a fascinating place
there is beauty and ugliness
but most importantly, solitude
last time i was there
i vowed never to return
i was done, fatigued, dead
i shut the door and threw away the key
but now i got to find it
i got to open the door once more
got to look inside once again
got to reclaim a vital item
once i lay my hands on it
i will never need to go back
it's the only thing i need
the one thing i can't live without, solitude
