During the night is when I write about you
It is then that I can see through your eyes
You look upon the world as if no one else is there
We are nothing to you but empty ossuaries, lying in the shadows
Our slow, steady breathing gives you peace, but otherwise look away
In silence is how I like to think about you
And it feels just like your presence because you never let me see your soul
I've sang with a mime
And danced with a marionette
And still you remain more lifeless than these
In a dream is where I wait for you
It is the only place I can touch your face and feel warmth underneath
I imagine how your voice might sound, lovely and deep
And for a second there is something else behind your hollow stare
But that is only in a dream
Hidden in my thoughts is where I keep you
You come no closer to my heart than I to yours
Keeping you locked in my mind, I am safe
I feel nothing, as do you
But I am not far away
At the horizon is where I will find you
You wait for the sun to transform you
So you can show me what lies inside
To finally be real and breathe on me
But we know it won't come
