He tries to fit things in a frame
That contains only the best
He sees only what he wants to see
And blocks out all the rest
He lives life peeping through a hole
Too timid to face the fact
He tries to shut out reality
He wears a mask, puts on an act
His mind's scrambled with a myriad of thoughts
And there's no more room for memories
So he shifts his focus to petty things
Like flowers and trees in the summer breeze
Someday he needs to open his eyes
And zoom out of his safe space
Distinguish the truth from lies
And get back in life's big race
That contains only the best
He sees only what he wants to see
And blocks out all the rest
He lives life peeping through a hole
Too timid to face the fact
He tries to shut out reality
He wears a mask, puts on an act
His mind's scrambled with a myriad of thoughts
And there's no more room for memories
So he shifts his focus to petty things
Like flowers and trees in the summer breeze
Someday he needs to open his eyes
And zoom out of his safe space
Distinguish the truth from lies
And get back in life's big race
