This vacuum, this numbness, tells me I need to get home.
I'm groping in the dark to where my heart led my feet to go.
I know you're still there but I can't feel you.
Feeding me with what feeds on me, living in what's killing me right now.
I am made not for this.
I burn in a passion they call love branding, searing my flesh.
The deceiver is in my chest and I must master this.
The battle rages in my head, dear God save me from this.
Silent waters, they run deep and I'm drowning.
