Empty Shell
I have no more inside to give...
it doesn't seem to matter how i live.
i feel i have nothing left to believe in...
although sometimes i feel like i might win.
No expression on my face...my joy is gone without a trace.
My heart it beats just like a drum...
but deep inside my bodies numb.
You say i shouldn't feel this way...
i have no interest in what you say.
I take two steps forward...then slide ten back...
i think i may have a heart attack.
I sit and rock...watch T.V....
yet nothing seems to interest me.
Read a book or go outside...
maybe even take a ride.
I think and think...what shall i do?
I could plan a trip to visit you.
All the effort it would take...
I think it would be a big mistake.
So here i sit...an empty shell...
sometimes my life it feels like hell.
