********************************
One step forward a few more back
Now I'm faced with what I lack
One or two interactions and I can see
Once again I showed too much of me
Everything I wasn't meant to know
Keep yourself hidden - walk real slow
Into silence I withdraw
Watch me slip watch me fall
Stealth like in the face of day
You walk towards me I walk away
Share too much and you will fall
I won't answer if you call
Silence is golden so they say
Today's no different than yesterday
You don't understand that I see
Move on ahead and forget about me.
Take each day and hold it tight
Maybe you can sleep tonight
Into silence I withdraw
Watch me slip watch me fall
Still you stand and stare at me
But into the darkness I will flee
I stand alone and that's just fine
The reflection in the mirror is still mine
I hold myself accountable for that
Your world is round mine is flat
So into silence I withdraw
Watch me slip watch me fall
