["Opposition is true friendship" - W Blake]

Involuntarily silent I fade into you
My voice goes unheard, near you I am mute
I know there's a way to make it through this,
Then my silence is worth, silence worth a wish

I wanted to have a look on the inside,
To see if it's safe, if only for a while

Any time at day this feeling might come,
Any time at night it might be gone again

Staring off into space, speaking words in random
I sing, I cry, I spy, I lie, I grow, I shrink, I soar, I sink
Facedown in the spiral of shame,
Weak and melting, tension's building all around
A deceiving secrecy encircles and frightens me

An eye for an eye never made so blind
A stake for a spine and find the fear where love is lust

I reach out and seize to bury it back into me

Streaming through the colour of you
A cripple love is taking life
We fought in vain to shelter our souls,
But failed to jump over our own shadow
