I can't feel
When you feel nothing.
And the cycle is vicious
Because we can't see past
All our demons,
All our fears,
All our past loves.

I got a little impatient
When you arrived silent
In the dead of the night
To tell me I've been
On your mind,
Dancing behind your eyes,
Present in your desires.

I know I'll be in trouble
When my heart opens,
Because you feel nothing,
And I'm a vessel
Carrying your smile,
Carrying my love,
Carrying all our lust.

I'll lose no tears
This time I bury
All the powers of heart
Beneath the ocean,
Beneath our laughs,
Keeping us souls apart.

You can't handle me.
And my heart's cracks
Must never be seen.
You'd pour into them
Your needs and wants,
Your love and torments.
