Empty Heart Syndrome

Bodies decay but I'm stone

Death is distant until it's my own

Life passes me by every day

But when will death come my way?

How did I end up with eyes glued shut with bloodshed

from all the ones who passed me by?

I will never be free of the lies which have become my

grave.

Seeing how you're made to live makes dying much more

real

Breathing in the last time until suddenly you're not

here

As I walk through the streets

I see how people are so frail

I see through their thick skin

Lay them down for eternal dreams

Dark clouds closing over me

I close my eyes never again to see

My heart has stopped- was it ever there?

Life is gone but its too late to care

How did I end up with eyes glued shut with bloodshed

from all the ones who have passed me by?

I will never be free of the lies which have become my

grave.

Death is nothing

When you see it everyday

It eats at me slowly

Till the ashes blow away

Death is everything

When you see it everyday

Surrounding me

Now my heart is empty
