The Empty Stare
My mind wandered off in the distance
Where I am far from all that cages me
All I could think of was death
Her name disguised in silence
Angel wings and raven claws

The shredding of my soul
Steeped in a lavender smile

In thy eyes;
The womb of thy despair
Embrace my life
Within thy empty stare

The overcast sky consoling me
The fortitude within my grasp
I think to myself I'm the sad clown
Smiling reluctantly, but crying behind the iron curtain

These tears don't fall so easily
In thy eyes
The womb of thy despair
Embrace my life
Within thy empty stare

Damn the illusion which fell upon me!
The bitter wine of reality poured all over my face
And I despise what I've become
Just a terrified man, secluded and trapped in time

In thy eyes
The womb of thy despair
Embrace my life
Within thy empty stare
Together let us roam
Through endless dreams of night
The moon as our limit
And our souls as guiding light

But how can I refuse my empathy to be resolute?
'Cause it feels like I'm dying
I have nothing to gain where there is nothing to lose
