Void

There’s nothing inside
But a deep, deep hole

It’s all black and white
Color’s just a fairy tale

Does anything really matter?
Does anyone really care?
Purpose is just a word
In a language I can’t speak


Satiate yourself
With fables and lies
Put your hands over your eyes
So you can’t see what’s coming for you

Have you ever really thought for yourself?
It doesn’t seem that way to me

You buy everything they’re selling
Without glancing at the price


Some days I just want to close my eyes
Illusion myself with your fake world

But I cut away my eyelids long ago
And oh, how they burned and bled. 


You’re so good at wishful thinking
The best I’ve ever known

But now you’re sitting in a white room
Full of people
And you’re all alone. 
You have nothing left to love
But your bootleg friends 
And a counterfeit future
