Empty eyes speak empty words
That cradle lies and let them grow
Into a cold indifferent smile
That haunts the mind of no one
Because no one is the only one
Who comes to comfort me
My tears fall straight down to hell
I'm busy being sad about nothing
Being sad about everything
So don't bother me
Don't try to make me smile
A smile isn't enough
There will never be enough
To fill these endless empty eyes
Eyes that ache
Eyes that can't see
Past the ocean of nothingness
That will always cloud my world
Making it all seem hazy
Unclear and distorted
Making me think that maybe it's not even real
And maybe it isn't
Maybe I'm dreaming
Maybe I'll never wake up from this dream
This nightmare
Silent screams fill my desperate ears
Making me even more insane
How can it be
That there is so much sound
And so little sight
I try to not listen
But the words fill up my broken mind
Pounding with every futile beat of my silly little heart
Sounding like a symphony
Sounding like how sadness feels
Empty eyes speak empty words
Empty words that I recite to empty faces every day
And keep on reciting
Because that's what's expected of me
And I have nothing better to do anyways
