Distance
--------
To be distanced from the world,
unable to get any closer,
can't risk the pain,
can't risk the exposer,
can't risk rejection,
my friend.

The world is a funny place,
it's all about the image,
saving face.
Passion and honor are a thing of the past,
some people cling to it,
some people spite it.
To me?
Honor is real, it's a way of life.
When you've got nothing else to beleave in,
you've got to hold on,
you gotta hold fast.

To stay behind a wall of ice,
and view the world,
as if all was nice.
It's a cruel fate, 
but it's true.
I'd rather be back here,
behind here,
than out there with you.
