Cast off
The dependable shores
Sails full of wind
Stores brimming, burdened

Take heart
Captain and first mate
These waters are calm
Painted dark by your own bilge

Drop anchor
Steering clear of land
Eschew taking stock
Your course needs no reason

Fret not
Though the world continues
Sheer force of will moors you
To wallow as you wish

Take my flight away from me
Remove the pride I own
Sell it to the world you've concluded
To be a reality I need to know

Persuasion into a kind of love
Trying to build a bond
Then take it away from me again
And closing up my doors

Take my traits away from me
I'll like to see you try
Because till the end of time
I know what will remain mine

Seal up my doors
That was opened for you
Seal it good
Don't let me through

Because I'm locking myself up
Safe and sound
In my own little world
Without you around

I will never speak again
Even if I do
It will only be the things you want to hear
To fulfil your *contradictory

"I'm like an empty house just waiting for someone to call me home."
