alone in the crowd
alone here with you
and this sapient silence
just keeps breaking through
like a hand on my mouth
it smothers my screams
and burns down to ashes
the paths to my dreams
and this sapient silence
knows what i think
knows how to get me
closer to the brink
with invisible hands
lodges pain in my heart
which pulls me and pushes us
further apart
its presence suffocates me
as I drown in the pain
and in this empty prison
i keep screaming your name
