It seems like every day it’s getting clearer to me  

I do it in so many ways  

I never failed to continue to alienate myself this way  

always trying to think of something to say  

words that never come out  

so I just sit back and let you take it away  

once again always alienating myself this way  

ever a million things to say  

at the end of every day only two have been said the rest were found dead  

thoughts that never escaped my head  

found short of relevance and importance  

forgetting all that I could say  

I constantly alienate myself this way  

keeping my space  

never getting too attached  

the distance I keep helps make up for the safety I seek  

so when people come and try to get inside of me I deadbolt the door and closed my eyes  

trying to think of something to do  

to get away from the here and you  

Until once again I’ve let nobody in  

why must I do it every day  

why do I always alienate myself this way  

trying to keep all at Bay  

trying to not need anything to say  

still I do it every day  

alienating myself this way  

maybe tomorrow I’ll wake up and change my way  

let them in  

but once again I’ll continue to alienate myself every day
