Voices in my head, they whisper to me

And this void between us rips wider

This love is a silent river, contained yet free

It roars with hatred, but the silence conquers it all

I threw away my heart for you, like an empty water bottle

It floats down that crystal clear river

It tells me with its vacant voice

An it is our love that still seems to linger

You tore my heart out with your hand

The endless river is where I wash off the blood

I want to leave this peaceful place and:

By the river, my useless heart lies in the mud

As the mist whisks me away, and takes me into it’s fearful arms, I say farewell

The mist thickens as the silent river seems to hum:

“Your song I’ve sung,”

As the the melody rung

That is when I began to run

Away from you
