I am the nothing that lives in your fears
I am the shame that lingers through the years
I am the darkness that turns into blame
I am the sorrow that forgets where to stay
I am the emptiness that follows you whole
I am the suffering that keeps you cold
I am the reckoning that keeps you free
I am the truth that made you turn from me

I am forever when forever never stops
I am the second that time forgot
I am the dissonance in your harmony
I am the discomfort where love used to be
I am the mirror that has nowhere to run
I am the tool that has unwillingly begun
I am the payment for all that you see
And left behind for others to grieve
