Lonely Game

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
