The road I never took

It's the road I never took

That moment which was never quite understood

It's the vague feeling of never knowing what's real

The touch of rain against my fingertips

I hurled you at the glass

and I shattered,

a million pieces of me scattered around your world

It's the knowledge I never acquired

The detachment that settled into my bones

It's the darkness which gives me comfort

The voice which mocks me inside my head

The echo of thunder haunts me

I'm a victim of my own sanity

I've built a shell around me

that can't be penetrated through,

it keeps me safe from the familiar faces that surround me

It's the instinctive fear I've always had of crowds

That odd feeling of abandonment

It's the trust I was never able to give

The emptiness that just never quite goes away

Shards of broken glass

pulsating to the rhythm of an empty beat

Tear it in half,

let it come apart at the seams.
