Piece by piece
Feelings cease
Guilty free
Losing my conscience
Finding hope
In this slope
I can cope
Without consequence
How can I feel alive
With nothing to light
The fire that burned inside?
Take my heart apart
Give me a single shard
So I can stay alive tonight
I’m searching
Restlessly
For empathy
Deeper than friendly
But I know
It’s hollow
The simple love
That I partake of
A different flame
Lights the way
New color and name
I’ll never be the same
Take my heart apart
Give me a single shard
So I can stay alive tonight
Holding one last breath
I’ll fight the coming death
So I can stay alive tonight
Broken and alone
A heart now turned to stone
When I’ll heal...I’ll never know
