In the back of my closet
There’s another dimension
I’ve kept it hidden all of my life
Nobody knows what lies beyond that portal
Not my kid, not my wife
These are my curious inventions
I make them up all the time
These are my curious inventions
And I will keep them with mine
There are signposts
Written in a language
That only I can understand
I know I run the risk of disappearing
Into my own invented land
It’s like a safe house
From a world in peril
A world that’s drowning in strife
I go there when I am sad and broke down
It's where I go to save my life
The kid asks me
What you doing in there
Won’t you come out and play with me
I say you’re daddy’s busy in here
Inventing an alternate reality
