Like a shadow I walk
Watching as they talk
But I never speak a word
Because I don't want to be heard
This wall that surrounds me
Impenetrable it encloses me
Indestructible it traps me
Like a shadow I die
Living in this self denial of a lie
If you could call it living at all
If that's what is really behind the wall
But I see through
Past flesh I see through
Through to the sad truth that is you
I pass through once again
Unnoticed once again
Was it pink who said it best?
Another brick for my nest?
And I know they saw its construction
They all facilitated the construction
But I can't explain why, can't understand why, was it the weakness in I? To allow for the barrier to grow so high? And let what was within decay, until a shadow is all that remains
Here I walk, like shadow of someone that used to be, passing through those that I happen to see. I know they see the wall too, see what was left crumble into view. But they don't understand that there's nothing left on the other side, nothing left to continue at all, so they place another brick, just another brick in the wall
