I preach safety
But I no longer lock the door
I don't put on my seatbelt
Or look both ways
I don't double check things
Or worry about the dark
I walk the streets at midnight
With no sense of paranoia
Lacking the urge to look back
I don't mind if someone is following me


Because I have nothing to fear
These are all things I used to preach about
But no longer practice
Fear does not appeal to my senses
Nothing seems to anymore
I am numb like the tips of my thumbs upon return
