Eradicate Me


Can't do this routine anymore
I need a way out
Can't take this pain anymore
I need sorting out
I feel I'd like some time away
From all the memories of the past
But somehow that includes the present
Because I can't keep doing this
I can't keep letting people in
I must remain a mystery
I can't allow people to know who I am
So then I shall gain some respect
Because I am a new person
Still old though
But just without shoe prints on my head
