Shut the World Out Lyrics

I was very insecure as a kid
but I found a place
inside myself where nobody could bully me,
a haven
from that small-town mentality.
A state of mind where
my emotions all were, and still are,
something I didn't
need to be ashamed of.
I still go to that place every
day and shut the world out,
just shut it all out.
It's what keeps me going on when I feel I'm not so strong at all.
It's what keeps me holding on when I'm weak enough to
fall.
Music lights a spark in me, finds the place where I
can express myself and be heard.
And when I'm there I can stay for hours.
