I question whether to hold you within or to let you go. I stare at the life holding on to the nothingness, Thinking I haven't done anything but held on to the emptiness, Oh life, how do I let you pass me by everyday? Oh life, how have I let you become so stagnant? Trying to find the corners of the emptiness I forgot how to look at you. I know my priorities but not how I want to work for them, I know what my goal should be but desert is all I see, Mirages of the could've been and what ifs. Emptiness, Why did I let you in? Why can't I let you out? Emptiness, you are strong, though you make me weak. You make me question my existence, You make me believe my demons. I wish I knew how to quit you, But you are my companion, The one that never leaves.

Emptiness.
I question whether to hold you within or to let you go. I stare at the life holding on to the nothingness, Thinking I haven't done anything but held on to the emptiness, Oh life, how do I let you pass me by everyday? Oh life, how have I let you become so stagnant? Trying to find the corners of the emptiness I forgot how to look at you. I know my priorities but not how I want to work for them, I know what my goal should be but desert is all I see, Mirages of the could've been and what ifs. Emptiness, Why did I let you in? Why can't I let you out? Emptiness, you are strong, though you make me weak. You make me question my existence, You make me believe my demons. I wish I knew how to quit you, But you are my companion, The one that never leaves.
