The Null Set

still my heart, cease the beating
quickened by your passing grace
better to fix my gaze ahead and forget
forget everything
for now just keep on walking,
swallow the words back down
and pray for nothing
steel myself and melt back,
into the shadows
continue down this lonely path
where love and joy fear to tread
an island of strength,
safe from all feeling
for now just keep on walking,
swallow the words back down
and pray for nothing
for now just keep on walking,
swallow the words back down
and pray for nothing
easier to just let go,
than to fight and lose
an idea to lofty to hole onto
all these nights awake spent staring at these walls
all these feeling I've tried hard to quell
i hole my breath and try to force it away,
clenched fists, gritting my teeth
waiting for the new day,
to come and dispell these clouds away
a sky of dim prospect,
to grim to behold
i'll bow my head and plow forward
carve my heart out from my ribs,
trap it in a box, and throw away the key
if i told you where i hid it,
you'd only use it to destroy me
nerves long dead,
turned to dust from lack of use
i've forgotten what its like,
to bask in hopes warm light
i've forgotten what its like,
to bask in hopes warm light
still my heart, cease the beating
quickened by your passing grace
better to fix my gaze ahead and forget,
forget everything
