why can't my voice reach you
finding your strength in everything but me
I like solitude
the distance between you and I
in a vast ocean we sink
and our hands never meet.

lies.
Everything you tell me I'll believe
I can't swim back into the surface
yet you never see me sink
and as you cry behind your walls
I never hear you suffer
Deafening silence—
Until one of us breaks to scream.

Smothered cries can tear my soul
and lies kill all bonds—
even at the end we can never see
what we've done to you and me.
