Empty Part of Me

The difference in my mind
A deadly weight inside when I was young
I was alive
I was a boy
But in their minds it could never be right
For me to love too

If loathing that is a crime
Then lock me up and throw away my key
Do you not sympathise?
Do you not agree?
How can you not hate the way they stare?
At you
And at me

And that is the reason why I try
To fill up the empty part of me
And that is the reason why I try
To fill up the empty part of me

I thought ignorance was a cure
So I cupped my hands and held them on your ears
But you always knew
And I always feared
That I could not deflect the wicked words
Aimed at you
And at me

And that is the reason why I try
To fill up the empty part of me
And that is the reason why I try
To fill up the empty part of me

The killing pain
The hiding game
Loving friends
And hurting them
The bride and groom
The lead balloon
The moral break
I could not
I could not take

And that is the reason why I try
To fill up the empty part of me
And that is the reason why I try
To fill up the empty part of me
