Emptiness

Unbind me from this chains of wretchedness,
Hold me close away from this loneliness,

A dance of love and lust,
In this sea of lies, I seek trust.

You could be my ruin,
But I tend to keep on going

You're the heroin to this drug addict,
The bourbon to this alcoholic.

Be the air that I breathe,
This night's heat that I seek...
