Recluse

I just wanna lie still for awhile

as beads of sweat roll down my back

Just wanna be here for awhile

as drops of rain beat down out back

You keep calling my name

but can't you see that I'm so tired

Just let me stay here in exile

as beads of rain beat down my back

float up here for awhile

roll downhill for a mile

I might build half a smile

not stepping in stride

I promise it's not all that dire

but this door is locked from the inside
