"Empty Now"

This emptiness hides
Deep inside my soul
It’s what I hold
Now leaving me cold…

 

I can’t explain it
I wouldn’t even try
The feelings inside
Bring a tear to my eye…

 

Too difficult to explain
Who I am today
Pain leaves me searching
For my yesterday…

 

All my truth
Is unclear to see
Rattling around my head
And blinding me…

 

No more asking why
I don’t really care
Because even as I pray
My prayers You don’t hear…

 

Have I lost all faith?
In my heart so deep
To the One I believe
The only truth I keep?

 

There are no answers
To me that are known
There are no signs left
To lead me home…

 

I just feel so alone…
