The Soul or the House

I’m wondering what it would be like
to quit this life
and start a new one.
What would it feel like
to undress my soul
and find a new outfit?
Does it matter
who I am on the outside,
if it’s the soul
that takes over?
Can I possess
another being,
pick a new life?

I’m wondering what it would be like
to really be a loner.
I’m wondering what it would be like
to really be in control.
I’m wondering what it would be like
to really have friends.
I’m wondering, I’m thinking
I might just sell my soul.

Does it really matter
who I am on the inside
when they see the outside first?
Does it really matter
if it’s me looking out
when they don’t look in,
into my eyes?
They don’t look
through the windows
to my soul,
but they look at the house.

So I’m wondering what it would be like
to change who I am,
I’m wondering if it really matters anymore.
Should I sell my soul
or would it be better
to board up my windows
and put up a ‘For Sale’ sign?
