Afraid to Feel

I paint myself on you…the silent wall

My words…my thoughts…my touch…my all

Emotionless…emotionless…

So in control of nothingness

This stone false-face you’re caged within…

Wears thin…

You pour yourself out into me…the lonely thirst

Quenching the emptiness inside

But I frighten you…I frighten you…

I take your breath and smother you…

As you fight for your life…

I cling on for mine…

For mine…

So in control…so in control of nothingness

So in control…so in control…

Afraid to feel

I know you’re there somewhere…

Too close to touch

I’m digging too deeply…

You’re too clear to see

But I frighten you…I frighten you…

I take your breath and smother you…

As you fight for your life…

I cling on for mine…

For mine…
