Dark Abyss

in the dark abyss
of loneliness
i sit and cry my tears
i can't look up
from my overflowing cup
it's filled with all my fears

in the dark abyss
of my loneliness
i shiver in the cold
with every beat
i feel no heat
i fear i won't grow old

in the dark abyss
of my loneliness
i dare not even cry
with none around
i make no sound
i can look no one in the eye

emptiness all around me
the walls are closing in
i'm covered in rejection
from without and from within

there is no explanation
no one can comprehend
my pain and desperation
it doesn't seem to end

my chest it feels so empty
no heart, no mind, no soul
it's all been taken from me
no longer feeling whole

someone remove the hoover
the vacuum that's sucked my dry
i want to feel be whole again
i just want to cry and cry

i'm broken into pieces
shattered, bashed, and torn
for all that i am feeling
i wished i'd ne'er been born

in the dark abyss
of my loneliness
i no longer want to try
on the count of one
let my life be done
don't stop me - i want to die
don't stop me - i'm ready to die
