As best we can

Run from connection
It's always safe not to care
Becoming attached reveals too much
Advantage must be maintained

Such control takes its toll
Because barricades reciprocate
Not withstanding the friends you'll never know
This will turn cold and cynical

All routes of escape will mean exploding
Hollow conceit - First step is to admit you're terrified

Face your fears and let them go
There's often peace in being exposed
In what everyone knows

Open and honest are not lost causes
And we're keep that in our hearts as best we can
