Emptiness Within

I'm lingering on thoughts that traps my mental reach Doubt feeds slowly self-denial A mindless spiral of fictional paths I've spent so long tearing myself and my mind into pieces I can't let go, fighting this rational cognitive dissonance We're all afraid to face ourselves in the mirror Don't close your eyes, you must see reflection of self Faint, so faint, but I know it must be there My story unfolds without those I hold so dear It begs me, It begs me, give in to this pain My sanity pleading, get rid of your chains Your chains You must get rid of your chains So embrace, The emptiness All though I rise above my boundaries I hear a constant void filled call The times are changing But I still feel My emptiness within We're all afraid to face ourselves in the mirror Don't close your eyes, you must see reflection of self Faint, so faint, but I know it must be there My story unfolds without those I hold so dear It begs me, It begs me, give in to your pain My sanity pleading, get rid of your chains Your chains You must get rid of your chains So embrace, The emptiness All though I rise above my boundaries I hear a constant void filled call The times are changing But I still feel My emptiness within
