Empty
I feel as though I've lost my way
my heads not in the game
unsure of where I go from here
or who and what's to blame
It settled on me like a weight
I feel a little smothered
not sure how I now escape
or if I'm even bothered
Maybe this is just a cloud
that in front the sun has past
that's left me standing in the dark
a night that seems to last
It's left me feeling empty
as though I've all but died
I fear there's nothing left to feel
that I've shriveled up inside
Maybe if I could change the past.....
but I can't rewind the clock
a soul without a heartbeat
is like a tick without a tock
