Silent Exit

(quiet intake of breath)

I saw the message drop on my screen

A quiet judgment from behind a machine

They said you were starting to sound just like me

Because I slipped away so quietly

No active status, no digital trace

Just a slow fade out from that crowded space (mmmmm)

I left the circle when the warnings rang clear

To keep the only one I still hold near

They call it a shadow,

they call it a clone

But I call it peace to be growing

alone

Never active, never posting a sign

Just protecting what is yours and is mine

Let them spin stories of how I went cold

Some things are better left untold

I left the circle when the warnings rang clear

To keep the only one I still hold near

They call it a shadow,

they call it a clone

But I call it peace to be growing

alone

No more screens

No more scenes (ahhhh)
