Retreat

Let me back in the womb

Hurry now, make some room

I simply must get away from here

It’s being in the world that I fear

Let me back in the womb

This thing called reality is full of gloom

I must get away from here

It’s all just awful both far and near

I cannot stand this awful life

Full as it is of pain and strife

I’d prefer to avoid it all

It’s life’s truth that do appall

Let me back there in the womb

Every second here is rife with doom

I can’t stand this awful pain

All this anguish will drive me insane

Please let me back in the womb

Existence on the outside is a living tomb

Let me back in without delay

I cannot stand another day
