Take me into your vault
and I'll show you mine
It certainly feels as though it's one of a kind
if it's lust you are after
I am quiet the crafter
the wall that I build
will be made of steel
mighty and tall
you will have to yield.
You want something real
it's required to feel
I am far from perfect
but I'm not here to steal.
I am scared of being hurt
by something not real
the mask that you see
is the protection of me
the coping of the world
is to hide my inner world
I know hurt and abuse
and I have been let loose
I am rather deep
so me I will keep
If that is who you seek
show me your safe to let you peak
it will definitely take more than a week.
