Empty Thoughts
Chattering through the walls
Colorless eyes peer from behind the holes
Curtains close from within
Keeping the whispers inside
...
The snap of the tension breaks the silence
And it all comes crashing down
Because some things can't be kept
Behind closed doors
...
Some dance hand in hand
Some prefer on top of the other's shoes
Most never find the song to suit their soul
...
Upon awakening
It becomes apparent that you're shivering
Despite the heat
...
And the ones we call friend
Discover they're our puppets in the end
...
Clones in the making
Pawns for the taking
Just another sacrificial lamb
That slipped from His hand
...
Just like slabs of concrete
The true strength lies beneath
...
Despise the thought of them visiting your grave
And laugh as they bury you alive
