The Emptiness

by Garrett   Aug 13, 2005


I… I try. To understand these thoughts of mine.
I… don’t question why. Cause the answers I won’t find.
You… Think it’s something I can control
But your assumptions… They’re quickly getting old

Can’t run away
Can’t face these days
As the emptiness falls down on me
Can’t hide my face
No saving grace
As the emptiness falls down on me

The emptiness, The emptiness, as the emptiness falls down on me…
The emptiness, The emptiness, as the emptiness falls down on me…

I… I waste away my sunlight hours,
I… I run from the emptiness as the children cower.
You… Blind your ears to the silent screams,
But your frown… It’s a grin, bursting at its seams.

Can’t run away
Can’t face these days
As the emptiness falls down on me
Can’t hide my face
No saving grace
As the emptiness falls down on me

The emptiness, The emptiness, as the emptiness falls down on me…
The emptiness, The emptiness, as the emptiness falls down on me…

I… I’m losing my grip on reality
I… can’t figure out what’s meant to be
You… Act like you’ll be there
But when I need you… You’re nowhere.

Can’t run away
Can’t face these days
As the emptiness falls down on me
Can’t hide my face
No saving grace
As the emptiness falls down on me

The emptiness, The emptiness, as the emptiness falls down on me…
The emptiness, The emptiness, as the emptiness falls down on me…

Can’t run away
Can’t face these days
As the emptiness falls down on me
Can’t hide my face
No saving grace
As the emptiness falls down on me

The emptiness, The emptiness, as the emptiness falls down on me…
The emptiness, The emptiness, as the emptiness falls down on me…
As the emptiness falls down on me.

    Hey,
    I like this, it sounds as though it could be a song. It had a certain rhythm to it as I read it - even silently. Well, wotever, sorry if ive taken this the wrong way, its a good piece. Also thanks for your words on my post on the discussion board. It was useful and comforting to know that I am not the only one to experience this so called "dillusion".
