Words

Feelings of emptiness about life strike everyone at some time.

Hollow spaces deep like oceans
echo darkness from my dreams
Hello shadows, darkest snowflakes
tell me, can you hear me screaming?

Lies that paint a perfect portrait
Rainbows that all fade to gray
Sorrows calling, come to me
all these chains won’t set me free

Whispers of the long forgotten
rise from death and help me feel
Wake me now and clear the numbness
Set me free and make me real
