Another day, another passing hour
Dwelling under uncertainties that linger
From a bad decision that turned everything sour
Until time was even cursed just to turn seconds over

How simple it is for us to fall for someone
Yet continuously die of agony trying to move on
We spend so much time in nonchalant effervescence along a loved one
And weep once they've decided in our lives to be gone

Abandoned without any explanation
Continuously questioning, "Where have I gone wrong?"
Whilst shattered and confused under cruciation
We forget to seek simple answers from crevices in our heart's song

Indeed words are never enough to explain our emotions
Leaving us hollow and empty but filled with something powerful
A thing that can never be explained or envisioned
It leaves us chasing for it like a desire that is sinful

I knew a girl who had no soul,
Void of emotion, just an empty hole.
Beneath her chest lay a heart of stone,
No heart to love so she's all alone.
She longs for someone to set her free,
To save her from her misery.

She lays awake in the middle of the night,
Waiting for her dreams to veil her sight.
For only in her dreams does her heart begin to beat,
Only in her dreams can she feel the suns heat.
In her dreams she feels alive,
But eventually her dream does die.

When she awakes she's still alone.
Her chest still hallow, her heart still stone.

Surrounded by liars, we conspire to exhale,
Suspended from heaven by wires so frail,
I was as you knew me; half there, half alive,
Too old to know better, too young still to drive,
An hourglass bandage, alone in my room,
A bruise to explain, an excuse to consume,
Burned down to silence, ethanol in my nose,
Confidence hibernation, voice never unfroze,
Turned to paper and pen, writing unhappy ends,
Tuned out all the fighting, lost faith in my friends,
A funerary maze, and I stayed there for days,
Kept safe from the addicts, degenerate haze,
Until finally I slept, free from sirens and screams,
It felt so good to see you, if only in dreams,
And I stared as you sat, delicate as a ghost,
I know I wasn’t there when you needed me most,
Always so far from home, and still so far from free,
Maybe I became less than you meant me to be,
With fire in my shoes and a map in my head,
Spent 3 years on the run, 4 wheels and no bed,
No food in my stomach, hollow cheeks caving in,
I came too far to fail, but was too lost to win,
Still the city lights held me with frenzied embrace,
Childhood imperfections forever etched on my face,
But head down I’ll hold on, however hopeless it seems,
And someday we’ll meet again, if only in dreams.
