Achilles - You And I

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
