I've gotten far too cozy
I shouldn't let it show
And should someone get too nosey
My cans are lined up in a row
I need to hid them soon
Lock them up and seal the latch
Then I should board up the room
Again I must detach
I must forget my hopes and dreams
Entitlements and obligations
I must leave my current life
For one of abnegation
I must tear my ego down
And leave it there to rust
Watch ties to past lives crumble
Watch them turn to dust
I must tear off the old scabs
Though they may have yet to heal
And I must convince myself
That pain just isn't real
I'll watch my old life buckle
Destruction cataclysmic
I'll teach myself to smile
Make myself masochistic
I wanted to start over
To make myself unknown
I got just what I asked for
And now I'm all alone
