Communication Breaks


We're always locked in conversation
Although you're still so far away
I'll try to put these broken pieces back
While repressing any shame

In lies that echo past the morning
When I've refused to face them down
It leaves me trapped in every phrase we've shared
Lost and stranded by the sound

I'm searching for escape
It's only when I wake up
Communication breaks off
I'll never sleep again, again...

It's not the first of such illusions
Another promise I can't keep
With every fractured word that lingers on
There's a conflict that won't leave

From countless stories in the distance
It comes apart with no surprise
But when the time returns for us to meet
I can't look you in the eye

I'm praying for escape
It's only when I wake up
Communication breaks off
I'll never sleep again, again
I'll never sleep again

As I'm drowning in the waters of your haunted abuse
Through the air in your lungs comes this unspoken truth
So inspiring, it's expiring

I don't want you to leave but I can't comprehend
Why you'd bother to stay after everyone's left
Name redacted, lost in action

I'm longing for escape
It's only when I wake up
Communication breaks off
I'll never sleep again, again

I'm longing for escape
It's only when I wake up
Communication breaks off
I'll never sleep again, again

I'll never sleep again
I'll never sleep again

I'll never sleep again, again
I'll never sleep again
