The Stone

The voices inside
They call to you
But my voice is lost amongst them
How can this be?
How can you hear me now?

I was fragile before
You loved me then
But when you left I turned to stone
How can this be?
How can you love me now?

I never held you
My heart did that for me
But now that I reach, you're too far away
How can this be?
How can you feel me now?

The tears of the night
Have dried in my sleep
But here they come again from the deep
How can this be?
How can you comfort the stone?

I was a dead thing
Lost in the verve
But now I've found the strength
How can you save me?
How can you be my only life?

I don't want you to see
The creature I've become
But that secret place, hidden inside me
How can it still breathe?
How can it long to be with you?

I am losing you
To the cold I have made
But what can I do when I'm afraid to feel
How can I relive the pain?
How can I give you what I've taken away?

You're letting me go
And it's breaking the stone
But what can I do when you can't see
How can I still be?
How can I be without you?
