- Mixed Thoughts +

There's an emptiness deep inside of my heart
It's beginning to surface quickly
I never knew it would hurt this much; apart
It's an awful feeling; so sickly

Sounds echo throughout my days
Forcing me to drown them out
Is this the game everyone plays?
How do they not scream and shout?

I miss you more and more
With every moment that ticks by
As I try to fall asleep, watching the door
I attempt to hold back tears I long to cry

I eventually realize that I cannot sleep
My eyes are heavy but will not close
Maybe I think far too deep
It's in [My Reality] that time has froze

It seems near to impossible to breathe
When hope gives up on you
It seems near to impossible to believe
When all "they've" said was never true

I am a statue on a silent movie screen
There for all to see
So when I begin to cry, they won't know what it means
When I finally stop asking why
