Death by Seven Thousand Cuts

What are we here for    what's dear to you
and me      what do I hear      what do you see
from those eyes over there       and is the  grown song
that different from where we stand     or does it take
too long for it to reach our ears        and when it does
how long before it settles in         does it take years
or maybe it never happens        we just hallucinate it
glad we made it over to         the next heart beat......
I don't know     won't           you please show us 
before this rift gets               any wider and water
stops flowing in                     between us any
