I live in a box
away from the world
I act like I'm there
but the box is sealed

it wouldn't be this way
if the fire wasn't there
it burns but knows
not what it does

it thinks its protecting me
away from all bad
but it only makes things worse
forcing my mind to disappear

only one can enter
my world away from worlds
and cool the fire
and make it warm
