The Emptiness From Which I Fed — Dark Tranquility

Silence in shivering solitude Obligations pressure for all to bear All the pitiful answers, the innocent lies Can mere words fill The emptiness from which I fed?

Be gone, oh yielding evidence of greed Safe now in the other shore Behind: The emptiness from which I fled

Can silence be shared? If so, can the perception of silence Fit into the frame which is represent The unity for which we stand? The confines representing a timeless sacrifice No eye can of silence tell lie

Silence, yet the absence of sound Does not feed me The essence of beauty alone Fall silent to lingering charm Brought forth be the sun Shed light on the emptiness

What can be extracted from nothing What can be found within the emptiness Be gone, oh yielding evidence of greed Safe now on the other shore Behind: The emptiness from which I fed

Brought forth be the errors of our ways As is denial so is contempt Introspective to all but one Tear apart the flames No eye can of silence tell lie

How can I even begin The battle where no one wins From answers I now flee

Screaming out too no avail Have I become what for so long I've dread The missing pieces Must now be replaced

What eyesight fails to grasp Is the emptiness from which I fled
