I.
You said you were impervious to pain, but I have a feeling that we’re like dominoes now; I fall, you fall, you fall, I fall. Sometimes I think I’m like the last tree in the forest – we can’t see me for the silence all around.
You said you’re impervious to pain, but I would never love you for that.
II.
Everyone knows getting the world down will get you high.
Oh, how it bends.
Oh how it crushes in my hand.
[I split to pieces as the splinters break me down.]
III.
Well, I’m not impervious to pain.
When he handed me that prophetic gold, I had no idea of what was coming. I was blinded by the emerald glow of what had come and all that was in my grasp.
There were three and I only counted two.
Now there will always be a crack where she slipped in and you slipped out of my life.
You said you were impervious to pain, and I know you know I know that’s a lie. And you should know, I will always love you for that.
And if I had known what was coming, I would have held that prophetic gold tight and declared undying love.
IIII.
There’s no sense in being impervious to pain. It just makes you a window on which light reflects, but never shines through.
