Not Compromised
cyphered
empty
after suffering
crippling agony
yes
intense its pain
which twisted
my psyche
so viciously.
Contorted me.
Inane
my brain.
I cried out for you
in the bleakness.
Received
demons
my soul
to drain.
While writhing
in harrowed darkness
continued
hoping,
I thought
in vain.
Now I feel your love
uplifting me
like butterflies
my insides
tickled.
No longer lonely
since so despised.
Now I know true love
completely.
You have opened
defeatists’
eyes.
Yes, I sense
your love
so truly.
A Light
so bright
your Being
simply,
yet wondrously
totally
comprised.
Yes, I sense
your love
so truly.
No longer empty.
Not compromised.

EMPTY LYRICS
[Verse 1]
You see I want the world to believe
That there’s a light inside of me
But it’s time that I’ll come clean
I’m not what I seem, no
Some would say I’m possessed, yeah
But I’ll confess, I’ve just been obsessed
With life and death and emptiness, I guess
Can’t you see all of the change in me?
[Verse 2]
You took these starving limbs, try to see
Try to see what they could be
I thought I would be something
I thought you’d complete me
That you’d erase all the pain, that I felt in my brain
If you fill my heart with love
Then you’d fill my voids above
And now you see that didn’t change a thing
[Bridge]
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
[Outro]
I’m empty, I’m empty
I’m empty, I’m empty
