The Void

[Verse 1]
I reside at the bottom of your priorities
Putting you at the top of mine meant nothing
Am I fragments in your inner timeline
Was I erased, or was I never a part of your mind
During times I'm occupied, my thoughts don't wander
Towards my nocturnal retirement, I start to wonder
Why did I stay your pawn foreseeing the expiration
Of my usefulness / Leading to my termination

[Pre-Chorus]
Ungrateful: Betrayal / Absence: Destruction
A mind crushing cell I am stuck in
Enclosing / My sanity’s waning
Cold and lonely / It’s overwhelming
Transparency / Vacancy / What’s transpiring
Vitality draining / A fatality
A life in solitary / True misery
Save me please / I’m so empty

[Chorus 1]
There has to be a way to fill this void
Replace this slicing silence with a nourishing noise

[Verse 2]
That breeze was a gust / It blew you away
Faster than I could drop and beg you to stay
We faced a drift, then an unparalleled shift
Bending the reality around us into a dangerous rift
My hand is stagnant, waiting for you to grab it
As you continue to float away like a repelling magnet
Can I take this filthy hope and filter it out
Will I be consumed in denial or doubt

[Pre-Chorus]
Ungrateful: Betrayal / Absence: Destruction
A mind crushing cell I am stuck in
Enclosing / My sanity’s waning
Cold and lonely / It’s overwhelming
Transparency / Vacancy / What’s transpiring
Vitality draining / Is this a fatality
A life in solitary / True misery
Save me please / I’m so empty

[Chorus 2]
There has to be a way to fill this void
Replace this slicing silence with a nourishing noise

[Verse 3]
After so much sacrifice you exited abruptly
Abandoning me in a storm without a warning
Not a sign of remorse or reparation
And not the slightest mention of appreciation
I guess to you I was expendable
As much as I was selflessly dependable
So maybe it existed only briefly
So maybe the joy was momentary
Was it ever real
Will this void ever be filled
Why can't the noise differ from static
I need your voice / I need its magic

[Chorus 3]
There has to be a way to fill this void
Replace this slicing silence with a nourishing noise

Your voice
