Welcome to the void
Where nothing exists
An endless expanse
Of abyssal darkness
Nothing grows or lives here
But neither will it die
It just festers hurt and bleeding
And biding its time
Feelings whispered into the darkness
Are never forgot
They remain sealed in the horror
Of absence of thought
A walking death that infects
Those torn deeply apart
Dark slumber for the soul
Once ripped from my heart
Don't worry about me
Because everything's fine
I'm just sitting here
Doing time
Locked in a prison
Inside my mind
Paying the dues
For someone else's crime
You might think someone would ask for this
To take away the pain
But it was still ever-present
Locked away in my brain
With an empty black book
Full of poems I once wrote
All the songs I had written
And all the words I had spoke
And a faded photograph
Of the man I once was
The world went on without him
The way it always does
Everything changed around me
From within my cell
And now I'm waking from that nightmare
Into a brand new living hell
If you ever wondered about me
Well I was always just fine
I've been just sitting here
Doing time
Locked up in a prison
Deep inside my mind
Paying the dues
For someone else's crime
