This house is now barren and cold
Where once it was scented, overgrown
So glad to be leaving this misery
Silence, eternal sterility
Someone said, "You want to think you are good"
No: I don't care what I think
When most people would rather hate than communicate
You are different, you have something to say, now
But now you're so far away
In word and body, what can I say?
Could you understand my desperation
Magnanimous you, understand my attention
Unwanted as it was
Hope is necessary, just like trust
In every situation I find myself
Grasping for some connection, anything, something like community
But most people would rather hate than communicate
You are different; you care what I have to say
But now you're so far away
In word and body, what can I say
Could you understand my anger at them
Magnanimous you, understand my reaction
Irrational as it was
Now you're so far away
In word and body, what can I say
What can I say that will sound the same
On the other side of the electronic divide
