Dead Inside

Dead inside, the flame won’t light

A heart too cold, lost the fight

Dead inside, but I hope to grow

Compassion sparks where ice should go

Dark cloud dining, I chew on the rain

Every breath heavy, lungs filled with pain

Mirror cracked, reflection’s a ghost

A haunted shell where I reside the most

Just an empty shell hollow to be taken as a host

Trapped in agony I turn to a ghost

Dead inside, the flame won’t light

A heart too cold, lost the fight

Dead inside, but I hope to grow

Compassion sparks where ice should go

Tears ink the page, diary of despair

Staring at walls, peeling layers of care

Soul’s a record, scratched and skipped

Needle stuck where the light once dripped

But what if I could learn to see?

Find the colors buried deep in me

Turn the sorrow into bloom

Paint the world, escape this tomb

Dead inside, the flame won’t light

A heart too cold, lost the fight

Dead inside, but I hope to grow

Compassion sparks where ice should go

Dead inside, the flame won’t light

A heart too cold, lost the fight

Dead inside, but I hope to grow

Compassion sparks where ice should go
