All the Empty Efforts

When you see me cry,
they're not tears of pain,
not tears of joy,
just tears in vain.
They're empty drops,
falling down my face.

Landing on a full plate,
I haven't touched.
I can't eat, can't think straight,
there's just too much.
And here I go again
making out I've had enough...

But I know I've more to give
and you've more to take.
I will go on with this,
after every break.
You made it clear
my heart's already worthless.
It still keeps beating...
And I keep bleeding.

Keep crying
screaming my lungs out,
Keep fighting,
My world just filled with doubt,
Keep trying,
Knowing there's no way out.

When I talk
it's like the words don't come out.
I move my lips, there's no noise.
Just empty sounds.
And in my head all my hopes
are oh so loud... so loud...

When I fall
and graze myself on my knees,
I get up and I can't
even feel it bleed.
Still my jeans are ripped
for the world to see.

But I know I've more to give
and you've more to take.
I will go on with this,
after every break.
You made it clear
my heart's already worthless.
It still keeps beating...
And I keep bleeding.
