Empty Vessel

I've lost all concern
I've lost all remorse
Nobody to confirm
I've lost against the force

You've taken every piece of me
Holding onto them for dear life
Everything that could set me free
Giving into the temptations of the knife

I hate what you've made of my being
You love the work you perform on my innocence
Pretending to save me, a dream of leaving
I was idiotic enough to see past your insolence

I've truly given up, you can take it all!
Have my rage, my regret, my envy
Take my mortality, my morals, my thrall
Keep my eyes, my brain and my heart that remains heavy

I watch you smile at my face maniacally
I am nothing but a number to you
I despise the way you act so casually
As I gave everything up, you enjoy the view

You lied and I fell for it
You acted and I believed it
You promised and I counted on it
You cried and I comforted

As you eat my skin, drink my blood
Read my life, break my bones
Take my heart and throw my remains in the mud
I realise you were, all along, the sticks and stones.
