Vault

In these halls of barren walls
My pain peacefully sleeps.
I cross the floor and lock the door
For my secrets it will keep.
I sit alone on my lonely throne
The master of illusion.
In my mind, I'm not blind;
It's better than confusion.
There's knocking now, I don't know how
They ever found my door.
I close my eyes and don my guise;
I won't listen anymore.
I'm feeling it, I will admit
I'm starting to regret.
What did I do to come into
This isolation to forget?
Salty tears to drown my fears
Come dripping at my feet.
I raise my head and look with dread
At my locked door of deceit.
I'm full of doubt, I can't get out
Yet still I try the lock.
There's no more hope, I cannot cope
There's no where else to walk.
My body aches with all the mistakes.
The water's getting higher.
What a wreck, it's up to my neck
I'm too good of a liar.
This was my fault. I filled the vault
With everything I could not say.
Despite chagrin, I should have let them in
But now it's time to pay.
I hold my breath to ward off death
My tongue stings with the salt.
I fade away, but that's okay.
Who says riches are kept in vaults?
