No Sound

Two hearts beat side by side behind walls they never touch
The air in the room fills us just the same
You rise and exhale routinely making towards the new day
I open my eye's seeing all the difference distance can make when aided by emotional constraints
creating emptiness

I used to dream in color
I am now learning to live in black and white

As the mechanics of we takes us further along
Walking side by side there is a glass between us

I used to plead for warmth and softness of the soul
It seems your goal is to prove to me one does not exists
I think I get it now.

We turn to artificial stories and noise to fill the silence between us
You don't know my feelings or care to
And in knowing this I have become numb and incapable of sharing
Maybe its safer this way

Hearts beating in the same room, never in rhythm, never in tune
To you the lack of music means peace
To me the lack of song shows no effort
A life lived together with no depth will be a long one

Kisses with no emotion leave one empty and the other thinking its ok
I know somewhere there are hearts that dance together, they've learned how to escape their walls
Because they both wanted to
And instead of artificial life there's color
Electricity in their touch, laughter in their eye's
Effortlessly through them there is sound
