The
Touchables

|
early
version:
|
| |
|
Speaking
of which, what is your choice?
|
|
Your
conversation will suffice
|
|
I
feel the need that's known to all
|
|
Better
use it up before the levels fall
|
|
You
can take me back to the primal drive
|
|
You
can carry on until we arrive
|
|
Hypnotised inside
|
|
Now
I'm not young and you're not old
|
|
I'd
rather purchase than be sold
|
|
Crazed
friends so bold
|
|
It's
not easy to conceal when you're so touchable
|
|
People
will hide indifference, just to be touchable
|
|
They
still emit split-second screams when they are touchable
|
|
Under
the surface just for kicks
|
| Sincerely
touchable |
|
You
say it's OK, but what do I feel?
|
|
Guilt,
compassion, or Achilles Heel?
|
|
Little
feet march down grey matter hill
|
|
And
panic occurs
|
|
No
seeds to spill
|
|
What's
the matter now?
|
|
Please
look up and speak
|
|
Your
spirit's wilting and your flesh is weak
|
|
Eight
days a week
|
|
I
can't imagine what'll happen now
|
|
I
wonder when and I wonder how the end will come
|
|
|
|
It's
not easy to conceal when you're so touchable
|
|
People
will hide indifference, just to be touchable
|
|
They
still emit split-second screams when they are touchable
|
|
Under
the surface just for kicks
|
| Sincerely
touchable |

Under

|
|
Sincerely
touchable
|
|
The
final answer to all our fears
|
|
Abrupt
conclusion to all our years
|
|
Still
touchable but no one hears
|
|
They
carry on, hypnotised inside
