Swamped - Mirror of Deception

Noises

All these noises in the air will make me sick

Silence

I need silence over here and I need it quick

Roaring

All this roaring everywhere driving me insane

Island

I need a quiet island somewhere to relax my brain

Your handclap a thundering peal

Your placid voice has the coldness of steel

Your tender whisper just like a buzz in my ears

Your friendly laughter a front of tears

Touches

All these touches on me causing only pain

Trying

To force on me what I’ll never be able to gain

Movements

All these movements of bodies I just can’t sustain

Impressions

Too many physical impressions overcharging my brain

Your handshake clamps me like a vice

Your tender stokes that I despise

Your helping hand burning like fire

Your presence strangling me like a wire

Distorted perception

Deranged is everything that I feel

Distorted emotion

So don’t lament

Please don’t lament over me

And don’t cry over me

For I can’t stand your pity anymore
