Empty Words

Ashes and promises

Share a bond

Through the winds of change

Words are blown away

When visions that should be

Are tattooed in your mind

The power to let go

Is sometimes hard to find

The answer cannot be found

In the writing of others

Or the words of a trained mind

In a precious world of memories

We find ourselves confined

Claws so razor sharp

Ripping at the spirit

Promises

A potential to hurt

Is anything real?

When forever

Is to be until

Deep inside

In the world of

Empty words

No escaping

From those haunting

Empty words

Do you ever feel it?

A craving that is so strong

To, by thought, rewind in order to find

Expectations that shined

Through the doubt that soon

Would turn into the price

Of what a word will be worth

When tomorrow comes

To be and we are left

Standing on our own

And seeing what is real

The answer cannot be found

In the writing of others

Or the words of a trained mind

In a precious world of memories

We find ourselves confined

Claws so razor sharp

Ripping at the spirit

Promises

A potential to hurt

Is anything real?

When forever

Is to be until

Deep inside

In the world of

Empty words

No escaping

From those haunting

Empty words

Empty words

Empty words
