I feel barren and blank, like a hollowed out shell of the person I was
I don't care if I live anymore, and it seems as though nobody does

All my loved ones are gone, either taken by death or too far out of reach
And I feel as though my life as well has been sucked dry, as though by a leech

Though I thought I remembered a time when the world was aglow with God's grace
This was only a dream, and perpetual nightmare has taken its place

There's no light at the end of the tunnel, but only a dark empty void
There is nothing to do but to wait, until all of my dreams are destroyed

I can feel no more hope, no more reason or drive, no more will to exist
This increasingly powerful urge to give up is too hard to resist

My resolve has been shattered, and now lies beyond any hope for repair
My foundation removed, I am sunk in a bottomless pit of despair

And I drown in this sorrowful sludge, not attempting to struggle or shout
It is meaningless now; every hope, every dream, every light, is snuffed out
