the emptiness
the emptiness is like a rainstorm
it violently pours down
soaking my clothes
chilling me to the bone
the emptiness is like a dark night
desolate streets
with one lamp post flicking
illuminating vacant pavement
the emptiness is like a cage
trapping me in my own torment
i stick my arm through the bars
clawing for freedom
the emptiness is like nothing
it’s the absence
it’s the unnatural loneliness
it’s the null thudding
it’s the quiver in my voice
it’s the voidness behind my eyes
it’s painted behind my smile
it’s the truth in all the lies
it violently pours down
soaking my clothes
chilling me to the bone
the emptiness is like a dark night
desolate streets
with one lamp post flicking
illuminating vacant pavement
the emptiness is like a cage
trapping me in my own torment
i stick my arm through the bars
clawing for freedom
the emptiness is like nothing
it’s the absence
it’s the unnatural loneliness
it’s the null thudding
it’s the quiver in my voice
it’s the voidness behind my eyes
it’s painted behind my smile
it’s the truth in all the lies
