Aftertouch

tell me you're alright after you close your eyes.
safe inside the mysteries of mind.
i don't know what i'll find.

when i'm hiding
a nightmare melody. an ice sheet, paper thin.
and i don't know what it means.
why are you telling this to me?

and i don't know if i'll be safe again.
and i don't know if i'm okay again.
and i know i'll be on my way again.
and i doubt i'll be the same again.
(it's just a game we play)

when you said that it's not real
i'm feeling what you feel
and what you don't want to reveal.

when you say it's just a dream
i noticed everything
and that you're tearing at the seams.

a curtsey and a bow
and it's all over now.
open up and let me out.

thank you very much.
i like your life an awful lot.
this is the aftertouch.

thank you very much.
i like your lie an awful lot.
this is the afterthought.
