about

Sometimes life is draining. Sometimes everything
happens all at once, and sometimes it’s impossible to feel anything about any of it. It’s really tough, but it’s still temporary. Just know that there’s more coming in the future, and although the nothing may last for a long time, someday it will dissipate.

Ooooo

Do you know how it feels to be empty
To reach deep in your mind, but there’s nothing in there?
You tug and you pull for a thought,
But all your hard work is for naught
Though you give it your all, there’s nothing to recall,
And you try, but you’re running on empty.

Ooooo

Do you know how it feels to be empty
Want so badly to feel, but there’s nothing in there?
When everyone says that it hurts
And you can’t feel a thing, which is worse
When you’re longing to cry, but you can’t even try,
And the whole of your being feels empty.

Ooo, time goes past in a blur,
Ooo, things don’t stay as they were
Ooo, everyday drains a bit more from me
I do more, and give myself ‘till there’s nothing...

I am trying to get past the empty,
Because I know that there’s something better out there,
Take a break and relax by myself
Step away now and then and it helps.
Though the world is a mess, I will work past the stress,
And I heal, and I fight through the empty.

Ooooo
