Anacrusis — 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
