Distance
From the voices I've heard
Some are never coming back
Some can't come back
Did I know you
Or is this just a terrible dream
My hand reaches into the dark
Something moves away
I am alone again
The choice was not mine
Where is that safe place
Prescriptions can't take me there anymore
Again I've muddied the carpet with tears
The solemn song moves up my spine
The paralysis is permanent
I will die never having touched your face
