Emotions I don't need
No pain and nothing on which the hurt can feed.
Emotions I don't need.

Locked out from the in..and how to begin?
Relationships trip me up
Friendships lock me out.
I really should learn what this life's all about
Emotions I don't need.

Floating on the salt of the tears that collect..do I want to connect with that?
My world is flat not round..there is no common ground..I cannot relate to the state of my heart.
..and how to stay apart and be a part is the question that raises its head.
A single bed is a dead place..and how do I face the fears..the advancing years?
Alone.
Emotions I don't need.

To stay in this vacuum..this sealed room and meet my doom is the future I see.
I can't love you..you don't know me and this is the way I am trapped..it will be said at the end..when no friends come to my grave..
..that this was a man all alone with no home and no hope..how did he cope with the silence?
In my defence, if I could I would say..it was the only way I knew how to get through the day..
..I built my walls high and I defended them well..
..though I think I built myself into a hell..it's too late now to find a loving anyhow..
..Emotions I don't need.
