EMPTY DIARY

I wanna share what's in my heart
But my emotions tear apart
All the words, all the chords
Before they have a chance
I try to write them in a book
But all the effort that it took
I'll rip the page
And let the pieces slowly drift away

I can't escape
This feeling and
The shadows that it casts from its core
I can't find
A new light
To guide me back from the dark

Every time I open up
This book of mine
I always find
It's all lost, it's all gone
No thanks to the endless loop of
Apathy, perpetually
Tearing up the pages of
My feelings to not be
And I~ can't make it stop

A melody
Was effortlessly free
But now I only see
An empty diary

Throw the notebook to the ground
To join the pages from its bounds
Had enough
This feeling stole the passion right out of me
I lay my head into my hands
I've given it all that I can
How do I
Open up and let the words free

Oh, I reach out
To find a song
To give it a meaning for myself
And I'll take hold
And I'll cling tight
But it always slips away

Every time I open up
This book of mine
I always find
It's all lost, it's all gone
No thanks to the endless loop of
Apathy, perpetually
Tearing up the pages of
My feelings to not be
And I~ can't make it stop

A melody
Was effortlessly free
But now I only see
An empty diary
