I got caught in the waves one day
A happy, warm day
The sun hit me
And pushed me into the water
I fell in
Never to return

The dust flies off the desk
Into the air
It flies
I stare

The water drops
Inch down the window
To the window box
The flowers dance

The walls say nothing
They sit in silence
I know no one is coming
I wait anyway

The silence starts to hurt
I try to stay sane
I stay alert
Waiting, listening

It becomes too much
Unbearable silence
Waiting for a soft touch
I know won't come

When there's emptiness
Whether in your mind
In your heart
In your life
It gives a chance
To fill it
Fill it with things you love

Like a blank piece of paper
On which to create art
On which to create words
To create scenery
Beauty

Like silence
In which to create sound
Music
Speech
Something magnificent

When there's emptiness
You fill it
Fill it with love
Fill it with happiness
Fill it with whatever you need
Just fill it
Emptiness is not a bad thing

Are these demons
Really what they are
Are they mine
Or were they left here
And cursed to me
Are these demons
Here for me
To take my being
Take my feeling
Are these demons
My own
How can I drown them
When they'll take me too
I guess I'll see

Am I
Am I
Seeing things
The shadows on the walls
They creep
They creep
The ghosts are back
They're sitting there waiting for me to crack
I see them all along these walls
I see them
I see them
The walls
They don't even look white anymore

I have an urge
To take your pain
When you're on the verge
Of falling apart
I want to take your pain
When you're feeling sorrowful
Or woeful
Sick at heart
All alone
I want to take those away
I want them
There will be no more suffering for you this way
