Not sure why I've had this in my head all day...

If I am silent then I am not real.
If I speak up then no one will hear.
If I wear a mask there's somewhere to hide.

Silence is Golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins

If I raise my voice
Will someone get hurt?
And if I can't feel
Then I won't get touched?
If no truths are spoken then no lies can hide.
- Garbage, "Silence is Golden" 

This downer of a song has nothing to do with how I feel at the moment, but was in my CD player as I was dealing with hell morning this morning.

You tell me you don't love me
Over a cup of coffee
And I just have to look away.
A million miles between us
Planets crashing into dust,
I just let it fade away.

I'm walking empty streets hoping we might meet.
I see your car parked on the road;
The light on at your window,
I know for sure that you're home
But I just have to pass on by.

So no of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still this obsessed.
I guess I always knew the score
This is how our story ends.
