Joyous Emptiness
I’m strangled
I’m dangled
I fear for my life
I’m hopeless
I’m helpless
I pray for sanity
Come be with me
In my own misery
Occupied by distress
Take part in my joyous emptiness
I’ve lost control
I’ve misplaced myself
I dare to care
And I’ve lost it all
Take part in my joyous emptiness
Filled with desire
Heartache made me a liar
Dreams on the pyre
My joyous emptiness
Stricken by loneliness
Bound by wistfulness
Angered by the dangerous!
Take my kindness as a weakness
Shatter my hopes and dreams
Take my heart and make distress
Tear me up and take me apart
Fear the man that could not be
Fear for something you could not see
Listen behind you, for there I’ll be
Occupying my joyous emptiness
Tremble and shake
This was my mistake
Never a regret
This is a lesson I’ll not soon forget!
