Heartless

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Space distance and a backbench post
These are the times I suffer the most
Night stretches to beyond the darkness
It wraps around me and I wake up heartless

Scanning the space for a prompt card blank wall
Scanning the space for a prompt card blank wall

Space distance and a backbench post
These are the times I suffer the most
Night stretches to beyond the darkness
It wraps around me and I wake up heartless

Scanning the space for a prompt card blank wall
Scanning the space for a prompt card blank wall

I still walk down the path I know is sewn
I still bow down when I know I'm alone
Just never spoken it's something you'll always hide
Time is broken
I'm let to fend the night
I'm let to fend the night

Space distance and a backbench post
These are the times I suffer the most
Night stretches to beyond the darkness
It wraps around me and I wake up heartless

Scanning the space for a prompt card blank wall
Scanning the space for a prompt card blank wall

Space distance and a backbench post
These are the times I suffer the most

Night stretches to beyond the darkness
It wraps around me and I wake wake
