The Emptiness from Which I Fed lyrics

Silence in shivering solitude

Obligations pressure for all to bear

All the pitiful answers, the innocent lies

Can mere words fill

The emptiness from which I fed?

Be gone, Oh yielding evidence of greed

Safe now on the other shore

Behind: The emptiness from which I fled

Can silence be shared?

If so, can the perception of silence

fit into the frame which is represent

the unity for which we stand?

The confines representing a timeless sacrifice.

No eye can of silence tell lie

Silence, yet the absence of sound

does not feed me

The essence of beauty alone

Fall silent to lingering charm

Brought forth be the sun

Shed light on the emptiness

What can be extracted from nothing

What can be found within the emptiness

Be gone, Oh yielding evidence of greed

Safe now on the other shore

Behind: the emptiness from which I fed

Brought forth be the errors of our ways

As is denial so is contempt

Introspective to all but one

Tear apart the flames

No eye can of silence tell lie

How can I even begin

The battle where noone wins

From answers I now flee

Screaming out too no avail

Have I become what for so long I've dread

The missing pieces

Must now be replaced

What eyesight fails to grasp

Is the emptiness from which I fled
