I watched as loved ones Became crippled with despair Anguish and agony Twisting their lips and limbs Until all that's left of them Was a broken, burdened mass She cried out for me Pleading for me to take it away The memories, the pain She says it's making her insane Her madness is a poison Seeping and seething I watched it all As if it were happening to me Every pill, every blade Every vile word she thought She thought about herself Her worth was nothing She cried There was nothing I could do I tried to help her feel more Feel everything nothing had stolen But her trembling fingers Took more and more and more And more Until there was nothing left

Weight of Nothing
I watched as loved ones Became crippled with despair Anguish and agony Twisting their lips and limbs Until all that's left of them Was a broken, burdened mass She cried out for me Pleading for me to take it away The memories, the pain She says it's making her insane Her madness is a poison Seeping and seething I watched it all As if it were happening to me Every pill, every blade Every vile word she thought She thought about herself Her worth was nothing She cried There was nothing I could do I tried to help her feel more Feel everything nothing had stolen But her trembling fingers Took more and more and more And more Until there was nothing left
