How long can you ignore
My lonely new surroundings?
How long can you effect
These changes on me?
How far can you withdraw
‘Til you become an island?
Are you safe inside the water
Or stranded at sea?
How hard can you make it for me?
How hard can you make it all seem to be?
How long can you defend
‘Til your defences crumble?
How much can you demand
Before you run out of need?
However so tightly shut
That you can close your eyelids
How long can you pretend
Before the whole world can see?
How hard you can make it for me
How hard you can make it all seem to be
