Dark Emptiness

Verse1
I can't think for myself anymore
need someone to do it for me
always got a lot on my mind
money fame and fortune
mean too much to me
need someone to release me
someone to run away with my soul

Verse2
I'm just a face
I don't have a name
many things have put me to shame
I'm full of darkness
it's in my veins
I can't get into the game
without some messed up craziness
happenin' to me
but I won't give up
life's good

Chorus
Take a look
deep into my soul
and you will see
what makes me what I am
it's not who I'm supposed to be
just open me up
and you will see
the Dark Emptiness
inside of me

Verse3
I'm hallow as can be
hallow to the core
the darkness surrounds me
it's in my blood
it's in my veins
can't you see it inside me

Repeat Chorus

(solo)

Verse4
I need to break these chains
I need to be free
free of all the anger
inside of me
free of the darkness
that surrounds me
I need to kick it
and walk away

Repeat Chorus

Author's Notes/Comments: 

"Dark Emptiness" comes from a place inside me that I used to go to all the time. That dark place inside that no one understands. It's pretty much about feeling all used up cuz you've been used so many times that it feels like you need someone there to do all of your thinking for you. Thankfully I'm not there anymore, but I know too many people who are.
