Mar 2019
I told her I felt empty but I don’t.
Gravity has never felt stronger
Pulling me into the dirt
I can’t be here for much longer

I told her I felt empty but I don’t
This heaviness weighs inside of me like a train
Drawing every inch of my blood as it comes closer
If I really felt empty, I wouldn't feel pain

I told her I felt empty but I don’t
There’s a barrier in my mind that doesn’t allow me to cross
And I dream of the day
my body becomes one with the moss

When I think about it I feel empty
Lying in the forest, becoming one of the trees
I’ll look up through the branches
And view the sky through its leaves

When I think about it I feel empty
But not in a bad way
I feel at peace
Because I don’t want to stay.

When I think about it I start crying
My life is special, and I am happy
I have memories and I have dreams
So dying makes me kind of sappy.

I told her I felt empty but I don’t.
Inside me a thousand emotions are at play
And there are good days, so good
That it makes me want to stay.
