Empty

The suffocating silence
Drowns my very soul
I am trapped by this fence
That keeps me from being whole

Through my thoughts I comb
There’s a pounding in my head
I wish to go home
I wish I was dead

Life won’t cut me loose
There’s no light
So I tie myself this noose
To slip into the cold black night

To emptiness I dedicate this refrain
My lifeless corpse is all that will remain.
