Nothing Touches

We drive in silence

Beneath the great dawning skies

Past the cooling towers

Where the white clouds slowly rise

I watch the world through motionless eyes

Nothing touches nothing ever touches ...



Raised as son of Empire

Hardened like a piece of steel

I am the master now

Of all that I can see

This means so much to you

But nothing much to me

Nothing touches nothing ever touches ...



Please take me home

I am very young

Please take me home



And yes I heard you screaming

As you walked out of my door

And yes I've seen those bloody faces

Picked up from the floor

I feel nothing and yet

I understand it all

Nothing touches nothing ever touches ...
