How far is away?

I've been pushed further, and further, and .. now I am just away ..

Is it enough for you?

Far is never far enough .. ?

I murmured a vow of silence and now

I don't even hear when I think aloud
Extinguished by light I turn on the night
Wear its darkness with an empty smile

I'm creeping back to life
My nervous system all awry
I'm wearing the inside out

And with these words I can see
Clear through the clouds that covered me
Just give it time then speak my name
Now we can hear ourselves again
--

Where were you when I was burned and broken

While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun



Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
