Life
You feel empty, there's nothing inside
You don't understand, and you can't describe
Emotions are useless, when nothing is real
Senses are worthless, when you cannot feel
It's all pretend, everything is fake
Maybe it's better, for your own sake
You search for happiness, but it's just a lie
Love is only a word, a breath, a sigh
Your dreams are a movie, in the dead of the night
They disappear, in the morning's light
You question yourself, as life questions you
You try so hard, you want happiness too
One day you wake up, old and alone
What has happened, where did the time go
Life passed you up, as you watched from the side
You didn't get to live;
And now you've died
