Lonely worlds
Prejudged looks,
Clanging swords
Reading books.

Very static
Muffled words
Missing music.
Lonely worlds.

An icy stare
Tearing through nooks
Hideous to bear
Prejudged looks

Made to affect
Not made of ores
Deafness effect
Clanging swords

Coming through
Going by looks
Depending on few
Reading books.
