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 within

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

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...
