I cant explain the change The change in me Once so happy and go lucky Now downtrodden and smelling of melancholy My heart beats for an empty purpose My intentions growing darker writhing like serpents Speak from the heart, a sermon of empty words I can't feel anything anymore The deepest of cuts bleed but don't hurt I'm looking through glass, through my own eyes Through each day I lose more control of my life I'm never going to win, so why even try? Empathy is demolished, my feelings run dry I can't say I love myselfI can't say I love anyone else I'll pull the bottle down from the shelf And drink until I don't feel anything
