You will never see

Though I do not carefully hide

You will reach no further than the surface

You will never get inside

And I will walk away

You cannot make me stay

I know this feeling, downward sinking

Later. Lately. I've been thinking

I will turn away

I will not show

And you will leave

And you will go

You will not acknowledge

Those dark, troubled words

So I will never say

Those things you never heard

You will never see

Things I have to hide

You will only skim the surface

You do not want to see inside

So I will walk away

You don't want me to stay

I know this feeling, downward sinking

Later. Lately, I've been thinking

It will be over

This will be the end

I can take no more

Now I must give in

I've grown weary of the fears

I've got no more time for tears

So I will walk away

You don't care if I bother to stay

I know this feeling, downward sinking

Later. Lately. I've been thinking

I will cover up

I will not let it show

I will watch you leave

I knew that you would go

You will not acknowledge

Dark and troubled words

So I would not have said

What you would not have heard

Open those thin lines

A trace of red defines

Caught in that twine

Dangling from a vine

And I will go away

You do not care if I stay

And I know this feeling, downward sinking

The one in the black robes I see winking

Two bottles waiting, one for drinking

Yes, I know this feeling, downward sinking

Later. Lately. I've been thinking
