Stronger Than Friction

The light that strikes against itself is hard as stone A dream too many full of memories not my own They're only shadows, they'll disappear Their only destination: anywhere but here There's nothing permanent below me and above For every time it's all too much, it's not enough We're unconnected, we're unafraid We only miss each other from miles away Tell me again, am I the same when I'm not there? Gone in a second, impossible to bear Hard to remember the way I lived outside Stronger than friction until our worlds collide These hands are useless, not even mine They do not serve me, they lose the line I have my version of vital signs But there are complications of a different kind Tell me again, am I the same when I'm not there? One single moment and changed beyond repair Hard to remember the way I lived outside Stronger than friction, the balanced will until our worlds collide Noone ever thought about it Noone had the will to wonder why Only you refused to die Now there is no isolation Keeping the experience at bay Any time, any day It brings me to my senses, this poison in my side The raging heart defenses a turning tide Seen upon the television screen 'Cross the boundaries of my head Entertained by the dead Stayed awake to make the morning But it came too little and too late Take your time, I can wait Is this thing going to kill me And tear my soul apart If not, it never will be The one to break my heart open You're really something good, what's got into you? This is the consequence of what you've led us to These views are shaped by thoughts which you have never owned You take all my opinions, claim them as your own I don't expect you'll ever let yourself be told No easy way to say it, you've been bought and sold Who'll defy me now And chase the lightning all to soon What kind of mercy will you gain Under the shadow of the moon The shadow of the moon above And when you know what it's about You'd stand upon a hollow heel Those empty eyes look in, not out Seeing the water deep and still The shadow of the moon above
