Afraid to Feel

Anacrusis

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…
