He does not need to close his eyes
To black out the world and the skies
His thoughts and fears reach out
Into a void and a dark sea of ebony

And silence reigns
Though anger may flood his veins
His thoughts and fears reach out
To the unseeing world, but they remain in darkness

And so the colours fade
Mutate from black to grey with the noises he hears,
Such bitter music to his ears,
So he reaches out in thought and fear

He reaches out to me, I feel his eyes,
To touch the face I hide
And by his hand pray I understand
What he thinks, and what he fears

When he speaks I close my eyes
To black out the world and the skies
To feel his fear, and sink into his thoughts
Into a void, and a dark sea of ebony
