In the emptiness I meet
My soul is beat
In the presence of a malicious mind
My death sentence is undersigned
My heart, it lay in cinders
My strength, it is tender
There seems no end to torment
I weep in discontent
Take away my fear and restlessness
Give me a sense of weightlessness
Imbue me with hope, make me brave
Dash my tears into a grave
As I go about my day
Will I ever find a way
To not feel this close to tears
Afraid of the listening ears
That lurk in the walls
And creep in the halls
To do the bidding of one of dark intent
Hiding behind a benevolent pretense
All words, kind or not spoken
Are twisted and turned
Into false words
Into accusations
Into emptiness they become
As they attack all and one
And in that emptiness we meet
My soul is irrevocably beat
Oh make me brave
Dash my tears into a grave!
