Barren

Enough
I’ve taken all I can take
My heart is arid
My soul is barren

Devoid
Of function and of form
I feel so empty
An ache inside of me

Unrestrained and unrelenting
Emotions flood and then subside
The days decay like fading echoes
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

Sustain
A will to carry on
A silent burden
A voyage uncertain

Detached
From reason and desire
Go through the motions
With false devotion

Unrestrained and unrelenting
Emotions flood and then subside
The days decay like fading echoes
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

Too much
It’s more than I can bear
Feels like I’m breaking
Frightened and shaking

I stand
On faltering belief
The cracks are forming
A muted warning

Unrestrained and unrelenting
Emotions flood and then subside
The days decay like fading echoes
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
