Slipping

I'm slipping Trying to stand my ground I'm reaching out with an empty hand Always tripping Now the wheels are set in motion It's the breaking of a new day And the fear you put inside of me Just ripples in the sand You say you can't reach me You say you don't want to You say the closer we get The further we grow apart You say you can't feel me You say you don't want to You say the harder we try The harder we fall apart I'm waking My tired bones are aching I'm calling out just to hear your voice Only silence Now the writing's on the wall Still, I see you walking tall And the only trick you ever knew Was making me feel small You say you can't reach me You say you don't want to You say the closer we get The further we grow apart You say you can't feel me You say you don't want to You say the harder we try The harder we fall apart
