Echoes from the empty walls

When everything is stripped away

The moments that we don’t expect

Spread chaos through their flapping wings

Webs spin beyond control

Guiding not so gentle pushes

Steering in a new direction

But every path is dark and barren

Searching for a chance to breathe

And not to feel quite so alone

Lost in the endless nothingness

What’s left of life built carefully

Crumbles into ash and dust

And disappears into the night

Replaced with haunting melodies

The silence that envelops me

Isolated in this hell

Made the best of everything

But it wasn’t good enough

To stand up in a time of need

And now it’s gone away
