My shallow life, my shaded eyes can't see the danger of living in these sinful lies |
"Emptiness" Emptiness. This pit inside my stomach Aches as I spit words out Of empty promises And empty words. My shallow life, My shaded eyes, Can not see the danger Of living in these sinful lies. My prayers are merely words Which linger in the Emptiness. In the hollow space That I've created Separating me from Him And He's the only one Who can carry me out Or carry me through This deafening silence, These doubtful tears Fall into despair of Emptiness. I watch my own demise As it shatters through the glass Of the wall that I've created. I thought that it would lift me to Him, But at the same time, keep me safe. What is safety anyways, When all that's here is Emptiness. I beg you Lord, Lift me up, Fill the space, Forgive my sins. Just please step into my Emptiness. My broken prayers Lie crumbled on the floor, Trampled by my hate, And I'm faithless till the end. I sit here, Alone. Wallow in the Emptiness. The mocking laughter Of Satan as he dances, Gleeful. For he's won another soul. He thrusts me into Emptiness. Where all I can do is Close my eyes And pray, That through His mercy, JESUS CHRIST Will lift me from this Emptiness. |
