There's nothing here nobody home
Just deep scars and gaping wounds
Fooled ourselves just to get this far
Fought with reality and lost everything
This chasm between us opened so fast
Now opened much too far to close
In it I've buried my dreams with despair
Somewhere something went terribly wrong
Your heart pulled you away I know
Guess I thought I could bend the rules
Tried to prove to you your real worth
Watched you run away faster instead
Ecstasy turned in one breath to angst
Comfortable serenity morphed into upheaval
Sitting here staring across the abyss
Heart still unable to see the reality
Mind lucidly aware of the eventuality
Grown numb and getting lost in loss
Aching to know who'll wipe the tears
Wondering if they'll run away too
Pieces scattered across our time
Strewn about and discarded in hate
Long devoid of happiness and grown numb
Shattered love turned to this mourning
Wandering through life with closed eyes
Wanting to tear out this blackened heart
Toss and leave it and its feeling behind
Trying desperately to expel this horrid pain
Seems so futile to open my eyes
See only pain and deserted dreams anyway
Begging for the courage to move on
Too drained of blood and tears to try
Expose my heart again and hold my breath
Droning on drawing in another painful breath
In a darkened room alone with my fears
Hope this isn't forever my line to tow
Holding a hand right off the edge of a cliff
Forever falling awaiting the pain at the end
Trying and trying again to share my soul
Perhaps it's too much a chance to take
Its become so hard to let anybody in
Teetering on the edge of letting go
Only to jump back to the place I know
This world of agony predictable at least
Heart too obliterated to do any more damage
Knowing I can't fall if I sit at the bottom
Hoping I can't hurt if the blood runs dry
Feeling I can't cry if nobody listens
Let this heart grow cold and whither away
Stare blankly at the world above
Oblivious to love and free of feeling
On and on this line I tow.
