Achilles

We speak in whispers, in dreams
We speak in whispers, in dreams

One brief moment
When our thoughtless
Hands could touch
And the bridges
We burned
Could rebuild
Once again

But I know I won't escape
But I know I won't ESCAPE!

Too many words
Fail to be silent
I wish you would speak, then
I wouldn't have to

Stars fall quicker
Than hearts breaking
Stars fall quicker
Than hearts breaking

And standing deaf
With no light
Impairs my vision

This skin wrapped tightly
Tight to the bone
These words constrict
Tighter in my throat

Time moves too
Slow for this
I can't keep
Up with you

I wish I
Could speak to you instead of dreaming

Words don't fit the world (No time to quite our stations)
So why speak when all is silent (Vigilance over tired eyes)
Forever in silence (Fall asleep is to slip)
A chance (Through mile cracks of social disguise)

Do you see what I mean?
These words fall like wishes
From skies torn and bleeding
Incessant heart attacks

???

Do you see what I mean?
These words fall like wishes
From skies torn and bleeding
Incessant heart attacks

Stars fall quicker
Than hearts breaking
Stars fall quicker
Than hearts breaking

But I know I won't escape

???

Sometimes that's enough
Sometimes that's enough

Maybe
I read
Too much fiction because

I'm still dreaming of going back to you
(I never thought I'd have to say these words to you, my friend)
Somewhere I never wanted to go
(Those days of you and I against the world came to an end)

(Dream of going back to you)
Sometimes I see your face and I cannot hide the pain I have
Those days went by so fast, they took my breath, they took the life out of me

Somewhere I never wanted to go

You wanted, you needed
You took it away from me
You never said it
I never said it
But it's too late
It's too late for her
