I'm simply just too numb
I can no longer feel pain
My heart was once located within my chest
And it would beat
To a song implanted
in my body and my soul
forever
I still do recall the melody vaugely
Sometimes I wish I could hear it
Just one more time
Then maybe I could get some sleepΒ Β 

Where my heart was once located within my chest
Is now nothing but a hallow storage
Keeping and holding possession of a stone
A stone that is cold as ice
A stone that is as tough as metal
A stone that was once a heart
That was as fragile as a piece of glass
But someone dropped it
And what a mess it did make
And it was left on the ground
With no one to ever attempt to
Clean it up, fix it
No one has the time
To put the pieces back together
Plus the cracks would remain
And surely fall apart again
And no one has time for puzzles

And once broken and empty
That storage in my chest was hallow
Hallow enough
You could hear echoes
But there was no sound
The silence engulfs
There was no longer a heart beating
And most importantly,
There was no longer a reason to care

So the stone remains
In the exact place it was mounted
Still just as cold
Still just as hard
Still just as silent

But I still vaugely remember
The rhythm of the beating
Of my heart before it was broken

Play me that melody one more time
Turn this cold stone into
A million little pebbles
And place them in a jar
And dump them into the sea
For the heaviness in my chest
Is weighing me down
I've forgotten what it feels like
To feel
Play me that melody one last time
And make it echo throughout the
Emptiness of my body

Make me feel
Make me feel love
Before its too late
