Nothingness

Time is a wound that will not heal
Broken, beaten and alone
Obsessed by a thought of what once was
A void is all that's left of me

All I ever wanted was for you to see
For you to hear, for you to feel
Listen, there's something I want you to know
I can't remember last December that's what you pushed me to

You wrote our names in the home I built
A haunting image of a passion forsaken

Deep breaths, ignite the flame
Let the water surround you
Drink the liquid, let your head rest
Let it all go where your mind will take you

I am all I was ever meant to be
I am nothing, king of emptiness
Doomed to be a hollow shell
I am empty, king of nothingness

You lured me back into your warm embrace
Souls intertwined, your touch set me free
Happiness you did not ever seek
Your cold, dead heart knew all along

Breathe, the water is still
In the candle's flickering light
Lean back, turn the page
Let the spirit consume you

I am all I was ever meant to be
I am nothing - king of emptiness
Doomed to be a hollow shell
I am empty - king of nothingness

I close my eyes and drift away
Let her sink into the past
