Close my eyes with nothing in sight
Nothing but a black stain on this life
My life is nothing, an empty frame on the wall
Blank and waiting for someone to call
I place my hands over my ears and pretend I can’t hear
Maybe if it’s like this I can close myself off from fear
And I can find some meaning in spending my time right here
But it means nothing and my face is stained by a salty tear
My eyes glaze over, just staring into those red lights
Aching for trouble, a sense of danger in my life
But that excitement won’t find me anymore
Nothing left here to settle that score
The pieces on the board all break and fall the same
Holding them tightly, I still can’t end this lonely game
I don’t dream of victory anymore
No points left for me to score
I keep my mouth closed, no one wants to listen anyway
I lost myself moving pieces in my lonely game
I force myself to look deep into the void
And acknowledge the emotions I could never destroy
