Broken in second-hand silence
Passing obligation with idleness
Your role became manifest
Your dark infantile conscience<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buried me in hesitant remorse
Before my own crashing course
Collapsed my own self-made concourse
And left me with naught but self discourse<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought you knew my hollow
I thought you felt the echo
Of silence, when really your hallowed
Passivity became your ego<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The vacuous misery I became
When too young to remember the flame
That was scorching whatever joyful acclaim
I could never have overcame<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What gave my hollow its first substance
Yet I rebelled against its abhorrence
And sought for some analogous significance
That I mistakenly thought might be our resonance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought you knew my hollow
I thought you felt the echo
Of our silence, when really your hallowed
