Drowning in the emptiness of my own words

by Em   Apr 15, 2009


And I leave without a single word
Because we both know what should be heard
A smile with a lie from the truth within
Making an angel's wing break of the sin
Empty tears have been running so long
In the beat of another heartless love song

I don't look back over a shoulder weight down
I'm breaking the surface when I'm starting to drown
The snow is erasing the way back home
And my body is freezing into the bone
And somewhere on the way I lost my heart
I wonder if this is the way back to the start

I leaned on a promise until it finally broke
I cried down my pillow until I started to choke
A paper heart was left in the November rain
Screaming with all it's might to get rid of the pain
I'm crawling in the still wet clothes of regret
Hoping to find someone who can make me forget

Now memories are just laying gathering dust
Together with love, hope and long lost trust
And I continue screaming your name in my head
So I don't have to hear all the things left unsaid
And you wear that smile but it has nothing to say
That dream had a price and you didn't pay
