When you are trapped between four walls,
The nights are longer
Four walls of safety and protection
Strength.
Four walls of freedom
Four walls to surround my life with confidence

And I can't leave these walls
Can't sacrifice my safety
Can't answer the breach
It calls me
It knows the nights will be that long
Trapped between four walls

I have built them carefully over the years
Built them around me
Stone by stone they keep me safe
Trapped by their freedom
And I'm here.
And the nights are long

Do they?
Do they keep me safe?
And what from?
I think,
And sometimes,

I just wish they'd let go.
