When I see you
I feel like my heart has seen eternity
I dream an escape from reality.
But after a while
I feel like it's crushed through the walls of death
I realize that we've never really met.
This pain seems stuck with me forever
Breathing the air that suffocates me
Is the only way that I could ever be.
This love that I bear stabs right through me
My knuckles bleed knocking through your door
These are the only things that I ask of:
Do you see me?
Do you hear my pulse whisper your name?
Sometimes I think it's so loud the fairies hear me rain...
Echoeing to the darkest corners of the world
And you, not even hearing a word that i say
For how long this will last, I could only guess.
