I Feel So Empty
I feel so empty
like a link less chain
like the world has gone
around once again
but I wasn't told
I was kept in the dark
like I'm crashing flint
which won't throw a spark
I feel so empty
like a waterless well
I'm an old waisted wizard
who can't cast a spell
I'm lost and alone
and I can not see why
the world wants to move
but I don't want to try
I feel so empty
like a game of chess
with only one player
I have to confess
the board is clear
but for the Queen and the King
is it check or stalemate
the ending will bring
I feel so empty
like a link less chain
like the world has gone
around again
