 Trapped insid

a finance guy
                
 Tell me all your secrets

 You see I was

              
 a debutant in

        
 another life,

 but
              
 Now I seem to

              
 be scared to 

      
go outside
   
 If comfort is a construct, I don’t believe in good luck

 Now that I know what’s what

 I read about 

              
it in a book w

 No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears

 My friends us

             
ed to play a g

ame where
              
 We would pick

   
 a decade
              
 We wished we 

              
could live in 

           
instead of thi

s
                                      
 I’d say the 1830s but without all the racists
              
 And getting m

 Seems like it

 Nostalgia is a mind’s trick
                        
 If I’d been there, I’d hate it

 It was freezing in the palace
