Insanity


A Poem by PaperHearts

I stare at empty spaces
And I sit in empty places
And I sleep the days away.
I sleep the days away.

 

I've been hearing your voice
But I've forgotten your name
Since you left this town
Nothing's been the same.

 

A distorted kind of reality
And a sorry state of mind
Looking for some sanity
But that I cannot find.

 

Am I screaming for you
or am I screaming for myself?
This thing has caught hold of me
And now I just can't tell

 

Your sentences were filled with words
and your words were filled with lies
Sorry boy, you tried to hide
But I could see it in those eyes.

 

Stringing together the words
I surely meant to say
But when I went to say it all, you said
"Would you save it for another day?"

 

A distorted kind of reality
And a sorry state of mind
Looking for some sanity
But that I cannot find.

 

We've been
Running through mirrors and broken dreams
Stealing the stars if you know what I mean
When the angels couldn't save you
I thought that I could.
But I was wrong.
I was wrong.

 

If I take away the music
That you brought into my life
If I replace it with silence
As you've given me pain
Would it help me remember
Remember your name?
