TOUCH

What is a shell without the flesh?
What is a mask without a face?
What is a camouflage without the source?
What is the reason to live without your voice?

Behind our smiles there are the tears
And the nightmares are hacking away
Shell of being slips through the cracks
And I'm lost without you
Can I find my way back?

One touch on my skin
Deeply penetrating
To rock the beast to sleep

Rain sliding
Tears hiding
You cry for the lost
Run out into the rain to me
And we can weather this storm together

Touch, comfort within
Maybe I can be released from this preordained sin.
Maybe I can kiss you without a whim
Maybe you'll feel something.

And yet you loathe
And I understand the temptation
And I'll walk right out the door
I'd rather die
Than see you suffer to accept me
To put you in a spiral of misery

When hands touch the glass
And the tears touch your cheeks
I hope I've touched your heart
And I can die in peace.

And the beast will not lie
Resurrection of the demised
It's not my time to die
Oh when will it ever be?

Then I hear it was for him
All the lies meant nothing
How could you love a shard of glass?
Because that's all I am
And there's nothing more to save

For my destiny was in the hands of fate
A sickening little twist of my strings.

Touch and I thought I could bleed desire
Touch and yet you felt nothing.
