don't you know i'm dead inside
can't you see it in my eyes?
don't you hear the screams of hell
the pleas of heaven to go somewhere else
to cold sound of endless night
endless rain and endless fright
never any dreams only nightmares
of course you don't why would you be there
I'm dead inside, these things are only a whisper of my soul
it's blackened now darker than endless night, or a ocean made of coal
I tried my best to stay alive
I cried for help as I died inside
no one came, the ones who were there left
alone in the dark I silently wept
finally my soul withered and dry
shriveled up and finally died
so now I'm nothing but a shell of a man
who needs this shell I ask myself
who needs to live when there's no one else.
