The Void

Is this the end? It’s what I’ve asked for
I brought this on myself this time
Kryptonite scars up and down my body
Wishing for hope, for redemption, for mercy
Expecting everything and getting nothing

I reach out for a helping hand, but
All I feel is the cold, lifeless air
Now I see that there's nothing there
Buried beneath my misery
when I’m dead and gone remember me.

I hold the keys to release my safety
My compass pointed in the right direction
I just wish the map I had an x for the end
Not for the treasure that doesn’t exist

As the sun shines no longer
And the wind stops caressing my shoulder
I reflect on my expired youth
As the rest of me decays with the roots

I reach out with a helping hand, but
All I feel is cold, lifeless air
Now I see there's nothing there
Buried beneath my misery

The seasons change infinitely
As I rot expecting divinity
I reach out for a helping hand, but
All I feel is the cold lifeless air
Now I see that there's nothing there
Buried beneath my misery
When I'm dead and gone remember me
