Show me those fake smiles
allow me them all consume
Fill me up with your empty happiness
or allow the despair to resume

Staring at the carnage
emotions left to dry
Cavities and loose bearings
lost in the vacancy of the night sky

Lost but never alone
beneath their shadows I hide
In the heaven of happiness
but that love I am denied

Presence as solid as fear
and soul whittled and torn
Scared to even breath
footsteps covered and life forlorn
