just a rough work in progress

You told me that every atom is infinitely far apart
That they never touch each other
Must be why I never could reach your heart

The magnetic fields, they interact
They  pull each other closer
and they push each other back

But the atoms are so small
that no matter how much they grasp and clutch
they never actually get to touch
Denied, denied, denied

It's mathematics, it's calculus
it's all of matter weeping, always reaching
never ending points receding
can you feel the atom's pain?
I feel it everyday.

We're all denied, denied denied

I learned all the words to your favorite songs
So I could sing with you
But our atoms couldn't touch each other
I could not reach you
I denied your atomic theory
but darling, it is true
it's oh so true
I always knew

Denied, denied, denied

You told me that every atom is infinitely far apart
That they never touch each other
Must be why I never could reach your heart

There are many other boys
I tell them they're free to try
there really isn't much of a reason
"you'll be denied, denied, denied."

We were reaching
in the darkness
we were stretching, I tried to pull you close to me
but our atoms and our calculus would never let us be

Each man is an island
oh we are so far away.
