Talk

There are still things
You cannot talk about
And when I talk about
These things you cannot
Talk about
I see you fade to a
Faraway place
A place where no one
Not even the gods
Can reach you

That look in your eyes
Like an iron curtain
Falling between you
And the rest of the world
Makes me wonder
About the unspeakable
Truths you discovered
The monsters that do not
Have names
And the demons that ride your back

You seemed unstoppable then
Like a holy stone
On a downhill momentum
Perhaps never knowing
That downhill it’s going

You’re still unstoppable now
Going neither downhill nor uphill
Going nowhere, no place
Still meandering
Like the river that’s headed to the sea
But you don’t swim
So will you let yourself sink

You’re unstoppable
Don’t let that fool you
You’re a force that doesn’t speak
Do tell, how will you be
Reckoned with
Do tell, how will we break that spell
That holds you in a trance
Leading you to a dance
That’s certain
To be the end of you.
