State Of Silence

"State Of Silence"
2010

I wonder if you could tell me
How I should define
The things that are traveling
Through corners of my mind
But if perfection never sleeps
Then you must be awake
But it's your misplaced apathy
That's inspired me to break
This wretched state of silence
Just to make your hear my words
Because it is your attention
That this man deserves
Oh, darling won't you close your eyes
And let me kiss your lips
Then I could take your pain away
With my loving fingertips
I want to make you hear the one
For which you don't seem to care
Is this something new for you
Or was it always there
Since perfection never sleeps
I believe you're still awake
But it's your misplaced apathy
That's getting hard to take
As I break this state of silence
Just to make your hear my words
Because it is your attention
That this man deserves
So darling won't you close your eyes
And let me kiss your lips
Then I could take your pain away
With my loving fingertips
But that is only if you wish
To feel my touch at all
And know that it's getting hard to see
Over the ever-rising wall
That you are erecting now
In the hopes to keep me out
But I will scale the heights in time
And show you what love is all about
But I cannot judge you for construction
For I've built some walls as well
I'm just hoping you will be the Heaven
To lay beside me in this hell
But it seems that with all the things I own
You just want my friendship most
And what could've been is wearing thin
And you're no longer drawing close
'Cause I can feel your body start to drift
As I watch the distance build
And I do my best to hide the heart
That your love could've filled
But now I'm left in this state of silence
Since you no longer hear my words
Because I still believe it's your attention
That this man deserves
So darling when I close my eyes
I still get to kiss your lips
While I fight to take your pain away
With my loving fingertips
And since perfection never rests
I know it's alright for me to sleep
Just know there's a part of you in me
That I will forever keep
...Alive.
