Emptiness

Empty words
Motions are unheard
Empty nothings
Emptiness that brings

The empty striving
A goal that couldn’t sing
The emptiness in
The emptiness that brings

Let it go, you can see
Fearing what to be
Let it go, you can breathe
Transcending all your need to be

Empty minds
Nothing left to find
Empty feelings
Hoping someone else can bring

Peace of mind, no such thing
Only chaos left within
Peace of soul, no such thing
When there’s just a hole that stings

Piece of mind, take away their hope
You’re falling down a slope
Piece of soul, take away their eyes
Clawing all that you despise
Clawing all that’s left inside
Kill it all until you die
