my words clash with
your words and
twisting like metal melting
and the anger and the pain
overflow from nothing.

my empty words blend with
your empty words and
the meaningless of it all
causes our trains of thought to crash.

the pressure on the right points
can cause the whole thing to go down
and we've been standing on thes pressure spots
for way too long.

my empty silence joins with
your empty silence and
between us, our silence adds up to nothing
and we've just cut it all off
from the ever-present frustration.


the pressure on the right points
can cause the whole thing to go down
and we've been standing on thes pressure spots
for way too long.

dont let this bridge on our river break
we can reinforce the beams.
the cracks in the broken pavement
are begging for you to say anything-
anything.
