Trench - Empty

Watching shadows cover dimly lit walls

Distant voices fill these vacant halls

Close my eyes and pull the sheet over my head

Feels like I’m hanging by a single thread

What if I’m lying awake

Screaming and calling your name

Burned out but can’t fall asleep

Please don’t forget about me

My doubts come rushing like a tidal wave

Do I even have a soul to save?

Fear like the wind blowing through the trees

I’ve held so tightly to these memories

What if I’m lying awake

Screaming and calling your name

Burned out but can’t fall asleep

Please don’t forget about me

It pulls me by the hand

Drags me to the ledge

Grabs me by the neck

Holds me over the edge

My face is full of fleeting sympathies

My pride is crushed under the weight

My body plunges into pitch black

My lungs cave in, I exhale my disbelief

I let myself slip into a dream

Perfectly free

I let myself slip into a dream

Perfectly free

Close my eyes and pull the sheet over my head

Feels like I’m hanging by a single thread

I feel myself being swallowed whole

I’m finally letting go of all control

What if I’m lying awake

Screaming and calling your name

Burned out but can’t fall asleep

Please don’t forget about me

Spending my nights watching shadows

Dark fingers of a nightmare

Crawling out from the unknown

I won’t confide with despair
