Floating, drifting in the void
of my mind, a frightening darkness
where no one can find me. I am beyond
all things and I am surrounded by nothing.
All I can hear is a complete silence.
There is no motion, everything is still.

But I've drifted for a while, I continue to drift still
nothing tethers you down in the void.
You learn to hear songs in the silence,
and you learn to see within the darkness.
I am at peace with all of nothing,
One might say I've risen beyond.

You fear this vacuum, I fear what's beyond.
While I am content here, I remember still
what lurks where you are, I've forgotten nothing
of what has crushed my spirit into a void,
and left me with nothing but the darkness.
And you let me cry and pretended it was silence

But now you no longer approve of my silence?
You want me to return from beyond
'I cannot be happy in the darkness,
I cannot succeed when all is stagnant and still'
That's what you shout into the void;
But it is too late, I care about nothing.

You took all I was and left me with nothing;
Tore out my voice and left me with naught but silence;
Cast me away into the void.
So I have made my home far beyond,
And you wish to break me still?
My heart has been replaced with darkness.

And you won't venture out into this darkness.
Despite what you think, I'm content with nothing.
True, my heart was filled with passion but now is still.
But at least it doesn't hurt like your silence
Did so long ago, so far beyond
the little haven I've made in the void.

Here in the darkness, everything is still.
I am with nothing, yes, but I am also beyond
the pain you have still; I am safe in the void.
