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
