You say that after all this time
There is still something dark
Something cold and blank
Hiding behind my eyes
That after all these years
I still hide behind my smile
But when everything
Has become so digital
What's left but to act this way?
As the time moves past me
I begin to understand more clearly
I'll never be the one you need
I'll never be able to save this world
For you
Can you hear my cries
Echoing soundlessly across my skin
I know I'll never get out of here
Chained forever to the familiar
I'll never get out of here
Not all in one piece
But this is where it starts
And sometimes I think
This it where it ends
Laying here with you
I'm writing these lines
Like we were already dead
We built this tomb together
And I won't fill it alone
When I reach for you
All I grasp is empty air
Floating out on my own
This fiction that lies between us
Has eclipsed all I'll ever know
I wish I could speak
Could understand what has become
But I choke on all the words
That I have never spoke
Nothing can save you from myself
