No Words Are



Running to the edge of my sanity,
Piercing hard through your eyes
Just to figure out what it is you're asking
what it is I should say

No words are enough 'cause they can't speak of hearts.

Still your face is empty,
and your smile has hidden a million emotions before.

Oh, have I torn your wings apart?
Even so
You're one that've ripped away my heart
and squeezed it to bleed in your hands

No words are necessary 'cause you never listen anyway.

Running out of my delusioned dreams,
Stumbling into, yet, your illusions
Any memory will do, any memory of you
Silent feelings that tell nothing but a familiar pain

And your smile has hidden your perfect indifference a thousand times before.

No words are good enough; I've dwelt in obsession too deep -- and too long
No words I'd want to hear 'cause you would only lie.

("You never say the words I'm expecting to hear... do you")
