Only Statues Weeping

My heart is a rock
And my eyes are ice
Sadness fills my days
Emptiness my nights
I sit alone
Untouched by life
Unmoved by the play
The sounds and sights

I don’t want to be here
There’s nothing to see here
Only shadows sleeping

I don’t want to be here
There’s nothing to see here
Only statues weeping

There’s a raging fire
Just not in me
An abandoned twig
On untamed sea
Pleasure’s just a word
Laughter a joke
I try to smile
But find I choke

I don’t want to be here
There’s nothing to see here
Only shadows sleeping

I don’t want to be here
There’s nothing to see here
Only statues weeping

I fill up my hours
With mindless waste
Nurse my aching need
To depart post haste
The road ahead is blocked
And I’m just stuck
A mouse in a wheel
Getting nowhere fast

I don’t want to be here
There’s nothing to see here
Only shadows sleeping

I don’t want to be here
There’s nothing to see here
Only statues weeping

I don’t want to be here
There’s nothing to see here
Only shadows sleeping

I don’t want to be here
There’s nothing to see here
Only statues weeping

Only statues weeping
