Numb


And so it falls apart
The monster inside picks at the crumbs
Savoring every last flavor
As the remaining heart goes numb.

You took yours a long time ago
Encased it in steel
To protect yourself from reality
To protect yourself from what’s real.

I was too stubborn to stop you
I just kept dreaming,
Living in an alternate reality,
While you kept bleeding out in front of me.

You pick at my defenses,
You shout at my tears,
But I kept quiet and numb,
Even after all these years.

Empty Dreams

I'm in an empty desert,
Following my dreams,
No one else can see them,
I'm alone as it seems.

But I don't care, I'm strong enough,
I've got hope as my lazer beam,
Gonna shoot through this pain,
And fill my cup with empty dreams.

I've got the follow through,
Only I can turn the key,
I'm building up my spine with steel,
I don't need anyone to carry me.

When the wind won't serve me,
I'll take to the oars,
Let my intentions be genuine,
Let love sweat from my pores.

I know I'm strong enough,
I've got hope as my lazer beam,
Gonna shoot through this pain,
And fill my cup with empty dreams.
