The Lantern

It's always felt like i'm standing in place

Waiting for the blurry pictures to change

Everybody seems to see things clear

But the image always stays the same

It eats from the inside

Soon i'll be swallowed whole

It's eating me alive

Swallowed into the void

For so long

I've been empty

Too numb

To feel anything

Take me away from here

And show me something real

I've been picking myself apart

Digging my fingers til' i reach the bone

Reaching my hands deeper into the skin

Searching for answers that i'll never know

I just want to move forward

But I'm cemented in place

I just want to feel whole

The void will always stay

I just want to know what's real

Take me away

I've been empty for so long

Losing touch and going numb

I will never see things clear

Into the void I'll disappear

Take me away

For so long

I've been empty

Too numb

To feel anything

Take me away from here

And show me something real
