If you could see what I cannot be You'd understand why I can't be whole Life is piercing me on its spike My unawareness is taking its toll I can feel things you would never understand The pain so satisfying in the silence Everytime I go there someone brings me back My calmness turning into violence
Only an arm's length is holding me back Reality flushed through my head What I can see my hands cannot touch The silence must not be fed Sometimes - I wish I was there with you There in the silence where our worlds collide But this would be purely mental suicide
All this pressure that's building up Temptation makes me weak The way you do the things you do Just take me back - take me with you
The barrier is there and closing in Soon it will have passed me by It meant not to be, I still want to go And I can't stop wondering why My conscious mind is fighting back Unconscious though I may be Dying - fighting - the trial, my choice to live again
All this pressure that's building up Temptation makes me weak Bending - giving in Cannot live - got to be
Within the silence The silence is complete Within the silence My God - is dead - and lying by my feet Within the silence
