Hollow

Give me
Give me a reason to follow
Follow your dreams
This rings hollow
It echoes too loud in my heart
My fostered indifferent heart

Show me
Show me your world of illusions
Brittle, infused with confusion
Oh, tell me, have you ever felt
So alone, so irrelevant
Small and so bent?

Help me
Help me unveil hidden meanings
Years I have spent
Busy weaving
Old memories into my skin
To keep me safe from the future
The passions within

I listened to the wind
It told me nothing
I argued with the sea
Proving nothing
It’s time to shred this fantasy to pieces
I am safe now, safe is easy
