The Emptiness From Which I Fed

Dark Tranquility

Silence in shivering solitude

Obligations pressure for all to bear

All the pitiful answers, the innocent lies

Can mere words fill

The emptiness from which I fed?



Be gone, oh yielding evidence of greed

Safe now in the other shore

Behind: The emptiness from which I fled



Can silence be shared?

If so, can the perception of silence

Fit into the frame which is represent

The unity for which we stand?

The confines representing a timeless sacrifice

No eye can of silence tell lie



Silence, yet the absence of sound

Does not feed me

The essence of beauty alone

Fall silent to lingering charm



Brought forth be the sun

Shed light on the emptiness



What can be extracted from nothing

What can be found within the emptiness

Be gone, oh yielding evidence of greed

Safe now on the other shore

Behind: The emptiness from which I fed



Brought forth be the errors of our ways

As is denial so is contempt

Introspective to all but one

Tear apart the flames

No eye can of silence tell lie



How can I even begin

The battle where no one wins

From answers I now flee



Screaming out too no avail

Have I become what for so long I've dread

The missing pieces

Must now be replaced



What eyesight fails to grasp

Is the emptiness from which I fled
