I Can’t Reach You

Nietzsche said that god is dead
So, who’s that voice in your head
Reminding you of this and all your failures?
You forgot to forget
The way back to your lost regret
You’ve slipped back past the place where I can reach you
I can’t reach you, I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you
When we were young, I fell apart
You placed my hand upon your heart
And swore to me you’d always be my teacher
I learned to trust, I learned to fly
You fell in love, now I’m too high
To recognize any of your features
I can’t reach you, I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you
Love is not a battlefield, but
Many perils are concealed
I didn’t know, I didn’t mean to hurt you
Innocence remains my plea
How could I know? I couldn’t see
Your standard operating procedure
I can’t reach you, I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you
