Visiting your world it's like a mystery to me, standing in a darkness where no one else can see. I touch your truth and in a moment it is gone, the absence of your voice tells me so much is wrong.
And so why can't you talk to me? And so what are these lights that you see? As I reach for you, you retreat into the deep. But when it should hurt. you never weep.
You look at me, but our eyes they never meet. Your touch is soft as silk in its gentle repeat. I touch your arm and in a moment you retreat, your rules of emotion taste of bittersweet.
And so why can't you talk to me? And so what are these lights that you see? As I reach for you, you retreat into the deep. But when it should hurt. you never weep.
Bottle caps, the wheels on cars all answers to your prayers - standing alone at the top of the stairs. I do not know this quiet whisper that you write.open up your cage yet you never take to flight.
Pendulums & ticking count the numbers on your clock. Standing in a cage I cannot unlock. I speak to hear your answer trapped inside a box. Silence that screams but never talks.
And so why can't you talk to me? And so what are these lights that you see? As I reach for you, you retreat into the deep. But when it should hurt. you never weep. You never weep.
