THE FENCE

White clouds falling silently to the ground
As a dense veil before the sun

Your words are said with a pleasant voice
But all I can hear is noise

Skip all the endless pleasantries
They're hollow and absurd
I'm trying to get through to you
But I'm not sure what you heard
We're stuck on different sides of the old fence
Can barely see your silhouette
Through this slatted fence
Each and every word is said
But it is all in vain
Forever divided by this fence

Our thoughts interfered by our flashing palms
Only to keep us calm

The time was now, but it's gone away
The end of another day

Skip all the endless pleasantries
They're hollow and absurd
I'm trying to get through to you
But I'm not sure what you heard
We're stuck on different sides of the old fence
Can barely see your silhouette
Through this slatted fence
Each and every word is said
But it is all in vain
Forever divided by this fence
