I tried to hide out in the sky.
\nStaring up in the night,
\nI hoped I’d never be seen,
\nAmong the spaces between,
\nThe light of two distant stars.
\nBecause down here on earth,
\nI’ve got places to be, and people to please,
\nAnd failures to meet.
\nAdrift in the void, maybe I could avoid,
\nThis hole that lies beneath.<\/p>\n
I mostly feel empty, or just plainly wrong.
\nThere is no way to change the words to this song.
\nYou can’t escape a black hole even if it’s wrapped in a bow.
\nI’m only an echo, the fading scraps of a soul.<\/p>\n
The color of the sky reflecting off these hollow eyes,
\nis darker than the room in which we’ve bolted closed the doors,
\nblacked out the windows and shut off all the lights.<\/p>\n
It doesn’t matter how much you knock.
\nIt doesn’t matter how much you plead.
\nYou can never reach me in time,
\nI’m drowning in the light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
