i am empty-handed
heavy-hearted
why do i love the pain
of the obvious truth?

i'm already blind
by the sun and the lies
but why do i gaze
when you will always look away?

you're fading, i'm jaded
we are parallel
why do i fall in love
when i just fall apart?

i'm breathless
six feet under
why do i ache
and still scream for your name?
