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
