In tears and out of love Someone calls out for help: "Tell me that there is any hope!" Someone calls out for help An empty song hangs by the rope. Not knowing what to do Off to the shore I go My life A recycled picture show. Over and over it happens again The names may change But the tide never turns An empty soul must burn. A call for help; somehow silent, somehow loud Never gaining a release Find me some comfort, find me some aid I hope with my life the beast won't be paid. Over and over it happens again Her eyes cut me like a knife A valueless soul doth bleed An empty soul burns again indeed. I thought that I had known her For years. All the dreams are gone And I pay dearly for it - in tears. -------------------------------------------------------- / / /__,_ _ o ____ /_ __. __ /_) (_
