Earth Swallow Me

Have you ever felt so empty
That you know not what you want
A feeling that keeps you thinking
Why every hurt is your fault

Such emotional and mental depletion
Which keeps heaping anvils on the head
Thinking about everything, but nothing
Then sad waters begin to shed

I say, for i feel
I feel it so deep in my marrows
I feel it heavily and cannot think
All i feel is,  heart of sorrows

I can hear them now
Those voices in my ears
They are getting larger now
But i feel no fears

It shall all be well
At least a comforting answer
To relieve me from the heart that fell
The heart which broke and had no repairer

The voices, they tell me
"End it all, free your soul from this body
The soul has no pain to feel
At peace: nothing about which to worry."

I rejoice at the solution
But then, my soul would be more sad
For after the persuaded soul-elevation
Many hearts will go bad

So now i lie on the shores
The Ocean and the land
Fate, are you keeping me
Or should i bid them, GOOD-BYE
