lyrics

So I sit in this empty room and prepare for the fight
He's stronger than I am and well equipped with lies.
I know that if I go it won't be my choice.
There's a war in my head and it's drowning my voice.

So go away, please go away,
Just go away, please go away.

These empty walls close in on me
There's nowhere I can flee
From the terrors of sleep
And the demon that will keep
Telling me how worthlessly
I've lived my life, I need to see
I need to leave
I will scream: "Go away!
Please leave me alone.
I don't want you any more,
My mind is not your home."
But I am weak and he is strong
And tomorrow you'll find that I am gone.

So I sit in this empty room and prepare for the fight
He's stronger than I am and well equipped with lies.
I know that if I go it won't be my choice.
There's a war in my head and it's drowning my voice.

So go away, please go away,
Just go away, please go away.

The walls are empty, but filled with dread
I'm reminded of the past and all the things unsaid
I sit on the floor and count each breath
Hoping in vain that there's something left.
But nothing comes and I sit here still
Hoping for something that will begin to fill
This empty room and empty mind
A letter's pushed in and then I find
That my last friend has packed his bag
And taken a trip to the other side.
So I hold my head and feel insane
For mourning over what was just a game.
I raise my head and look around
For a distraction that will quell the sound
Of a voice in my mind, as it draws the line
And says: "Step over, you'll be fine!"

So I sit in this empty room and prepare for the fight
He's stronger than I am and well equipped with lies.
I know that if I go it won't be my choice.
There's a war in my head and it's drowning my voice.

I don't want to be in this empty room.
I'm cornered by one that's cruel.
I want to flee, but there's nowhere to.
Is this really who I am? Am I really a fool?
I don't want to be in this empty room.
I'm cornered by one that's cruel.
I want to flee, but there's nowhere to.
Is this really who I am? Am I really a fool?

So I sit in this empty room and prepare for the fight
He's stronger than I am and well equipped with lies.
I know that if I go it won't be my choice.
There's a war in my head and it's drowning my voice.

Please leave me alone, I don't want you anymore.
My mind is not your home and I've told you this before.
Please leave me alone, I don't want you anymore.
My mind is not your home and I've told you this before.

about

Broken Soldiers New York, New York

One of the most amazing things about creativity is its ability to turn a negative situation, a negative moment or mindset, into something positive. Because when you create something and can sit back and think to yourself "I made that" it can be truly inspiring. That is what this music is for me and hopefully, by listening, you can find that inspiration too. Stay Positive. |><| ... more
