Dear Thomas Merton, (This man Is an Island) - Shinobu

I’d rather not associate with anyone these days

Consider me my own entity

Excommunicated consciously

I’d rather not associate with anyone these days

Everyone on TV is fake anyway

But I’ll take fake endings over real mistakes

I’ve heard that no man is an island

But I’m trying my best

To separate myself from the mainland

I’m cutting all my strings

And sailing out to sea

At the risk of sounding nihilistic

I don’t care about anything or anyone anymore

You’ve got your life

And I’ve got mine

Now keep them far away
