Illusion
Some days I am so deep on the bottom
that there is no down for my tears to flow
And it’s as well, as I have none
the world is too heavy on my shoulders
too heavy for me to breathe, too heavy to cry
I’ve been stabbed so many times that I can’t feel the next
And sorrow and pain has taken hold of my soul
So entirely that it is immune to joy
I’ve become just an illusion, a shadow, an empty space
