Empty me out and you will find a different person
Than the one you thought you had all figured out
The world around us stands so silent and still
The weight of it finds plenty to tell about
The best part of me has blossomed, withered by and gone
But we believed that if you stayed, you would prove me wrong
Could we go back to memories neither ignorant nor blissful?
To live in peace for all that has come to pass
A hint of hope, a touch of silver and gold
Trickles through the curtains of the window
The sun shines through behind you standing at the door
But all I see is a shadow, nothing more
All emotions whirl up together like the leaves
Time smiles bright, but it moves on and it deceives
The healing process disillusions like the pendulum in swing
And the books don’t give away a single thing
