The Void - Texas In July

I brought this on myself this time

Kryptonite scars up and down my body

Wishing for hope, for redemption, for mercy

Expecting everything and getting nothing

I REACH OUT for a helping hand, but

ALL I FEEL is the cold, lifeless air

NOW I SEE that there’s nothing there

Buried beneath my misery, when I’m dead and gone remember me

I hold the keys to release my safety

My compass pointed in the right direction

I just wish the map I had an X for the end

Not for the treasure that doesn’t exist

As the sun shines no longer

And the wind stops caressing my shoulder

I reflect on my expired youth

As the rest of me decays with the roots

I reach out with a helping hand, but

All I feel is cold, lifeless air

Now I see there’s nothing there

Buried beneath my misery

The seasons change infinitely

As I rot expecting divinity

I REACH OUT for a helping hand, but

ALL I FEEL is the cold lifeless air

NOW I SEE that there’s nothing there

Buried beneath my misery, when I’m dead and gone remember me
