The Detachment Process
(Michael Barnes)
The psychological removal of that special someone.
Get rid of everything that reminds you,
Stay away from every place that reminds you,
Don't talk to the ones who remind you,
Never say that name again, 'cause now it's obscene.
Maybe I'm just an obsessive son-of-a-bitch,
Maybe I just live in my head a little too much,
Maybe that's what lets me do what you hear now,
Maybe that's all I really need anyhow.
Don't play the same old songs, it reminds you.
Don't watch the same old films, it reminds you.
Just move on to the next one, it's behind you.
But what if there's no one?
Misery will follow you...
So this is what it's come to?
This is what it's come down to?
This is the detachment process!
Wash away everything,
Turn the best into nothing,
This is the detachment process!
