I feel you passing through me
Grasping two hands tied to nothing
The comfort falls
Beyond my reach
False phrases agitated
By faulty, forlorn faces
All words lose their meaning
As our lives collide
Time-proven knowledge, defied
Protective, set path, decried
Keep feeding on the disconnect
Breed silence only meant for death
Like watching your life on a screen;
Not living, but acting out scenes
Written for someone not me
Scripted with worn out themes
I take their word for life's meaning
Pretend to indulge in the things
They said I've always been missing
Choke on phrases I repeat
Look at my face and tell me what I should be
Emptiness has chained us to eternity
Look at my face and tell me what I should be
Emptiness has chained us to eternity
Look at my face and tell me what I should be
Emptiness has chained us to eternity
Lie to my face and tell me what this should be
The truth in this has made them all my enemies
Maybe someday I will find
The means for this escape
