My Design

You’re touching me, but I’m unaffected You worry of what I’ve become Disconnected, I welcome in the cold It feels so good to just go numb All I feel is static Know that my response It’s automatic I travel down this lonely road The one that I designed Another sacred place of mine The one that I call home It’s the place where peace finds me Away from the noise, the shuffle and all the droning The only place I don’t feel alone Here in the company of my own The darkness that I seek Not of evil, but that of tranquility Where I let my problems drift away Gets me through to the next day Even as you lie here with me Why can’t you understand It’s the silence I find comforting Not the chaste brush of a hand Or the passion you choose to unleash Something deeper is my soul’s demand That of the physical is just an illusion All I feel is static Know that my response It’s automatic Somewhere between happiness and sadness Sitting out in the pouring rain Say what you have to say Can’t accept who I am This is where we go our separate ways
