For The Sake Of Talking

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

the skin is getting thinner
disappearing, so how?
this must be how it feels
walking the edge of a razor

making dreams out of nothing
it sure does look like much
but it still is nothing in the end

voices I pretend I cannot hear
but I know from far away
they're coming near

keep talking to cover 
the silence I fear
screaming from within
and covering my eyes

it doesn't matter what you say
just keep talking myself away

at this very moment the soul is solid
running to stand still
don't let go
don't cut the strings
else I'll be drowning
in the everlasting emptiness
