Theories of Emptiness

Did you feel the wind change? Does the sky still seem the same? Do you feel the rain? Has it come to wash defeat away? Misfortune be gone We won Misfortune be gone A new dawn Now that the color of the sunrise changed Will you do the same or stay and fade? How did we ever grow in this avalanche? All these impressions come so fast it tears us apart Now that we've proven comfort is a bloodbath How do we stay alive in its aftermath? Misfortune be gone We won Misfortune be gone A new dawn Misfortune be gone We won Misfortune be gone A new dawn

Let the blood flow the streets where I'm walking I will drink from your soul Let me show you the demons I'm breeding I'll come down like a storm Season winds roll in and like sorrow Without a care it just unfolds Fallen kings with hearts that have frozen Watch their bloodline fall in the same cold If I cut my loss right now and have to become someone else Then I wish this was the end of this endless night I will rewrite this, I'll flow with the river Because all this anger is digging a hole I will seal my lips, I've taken the silent kiss I'll never speak again, I'll never speak again If I cut my loss right now and have to become someone else Then I wish this was the end of this endless night If I'll make us stop right here to have us become something else Could this be the end? Could this be the end? These skies speak to me in a way I understand and life is so close as if it's almost in my hands, I finally know what it's like to have a soul of your own. And eyes that speak truth and love because you feel it in your heart, not because the world have told you how to see it And not because everyone else seem feel and read it different, you'll need to speak again If I cut my loss right now and I'll become someone else Then I wish this was the end of this endless night If I'll make us stop right here to have us become something else Could this be the end of this eternal night?

This is what's left of me I'm not gonna hide it You're still much a part of me and I won't fight it And all that I'm left with here is this violence This is what's left of me I'm going silent I'm counting every day until we meet again I know you're watching me It is making me feel safe I miss your every breath and I feel when you are near me And I know you are the ghost of my hero Most days I think of you but some days I don't I fear I'll forget you but know that I won't And now that some years have passed I thought I'd be stronger But it seems sorrow lasts a lifetime or longer I'm counting every day until we meet again And I know you're watching me It is making me feel safe I miss your every breath but I feel you here with me So I know you are the ghost of my hero How I miss your eyes and how you looked at me Like you were the only one who really knew me The sound of your voice when you spoke to me Was the voice of my hero Some days when I think of you I wanna go into hiding Everyone says they know but I know they are lying And I don't want to speak I just want to stay silent So I can hear the ghost of my hero I know you are the ghost of my hero

We don't know what we have done We've inherited shadows ever fading But we are the north And no matter how far we have fallen We will fall some more We are true, we're proud, it's our calling We are the north Run So you call this victory? To harvest emptiness? To hunt, to fall, to start again all alone? Because we've never learnt from history We chase the same prophecies And I just need to feel again before I won't Yeah One by one we've awakened the hounds One by one we have fathered these grounds Side by side and our heritage echoes Nothing will change, no new ways to follow And no matter how far we have fallen We will fall some more We are true, we're proud, it's our calling We are the north We'll never stop fearing We'll always be lost and hurt The promise of heaven crumbles to dirt You call this victory? To harvest emptiness? To hunt, to fall, to start again all alone? Because we've never learnt from history We chase the same prophecies And I just need to feel something before I don't Run So you call this victory? To harvest emptiness? To hunt, to fall, to start again and soon we're gone We've never learnt from history We chase the same prophecies But I just need to feel again before I gone

When you look at me who do you see? And do I look as empty as I feel? I never felt I had that someone, nowhere to place my trust Just needed someone So let me be your spark I will know how to help you Let me share your dark I was just like you No one could get through With no one to believe in All I knew was not to feel and my search for purpose ended reasoning So I felt that I was lying, never had something satisfy me I was building castles in here With kingdom walls to hide the real me And I don't know if I felt what you feel I was someone else then I was feeling very strange then I was always feeling lost So let me be your spark I will know how to help you Let me share your dark I was just like you No one could get through You need to leave the night, let darkness fall Be the light that leaves the night within And if there's nothing here that you can feel is real Then you keep searching 'til there is Let me be the start Of the end of your hurting Let me share your dark I have also been where the dark feels never-ending You need to leave the night, let darkness fall Be the light that leaves the night within And if there's nothing here that you can feel is real Then you keep searching 'til there is

I always feel so misplaced but never know the cause I've always tried to find a way in and always found myself lost Some days I feel like I can't stand my face Sometimes so strong I'll chase the pain away I fought my way through silence to end up in this emptiness The lies, the lies that I wrote was all I had to fill the emptiness to somehow feel I was okay So I lied and thought I had fooled you all I know that I was often lost in myself I guess that you were the same just somewhere else I always thought we'd had the time that we lost come back Convinced to the end we watched our sun set I was calling you were leaving I was stretching so far without you seeing me I was drowning in a sea of pain You were gazing at the sky for rain We fought our way through silence, we fell so hard and suddenly the lies, the lies that we wrote was all We had to fill the emptiness that we both had to feel okay We wrote lies and thought that we'd fooled you all We were caught in the rain, we were falling and frozen But we were feeling the same like our hearts had been broken Now I just feel like I have nothing at all but this emptiness, no How do we fight this emptiness, can I become someone else? Because I'm tired, so tired of being this lost If all we have is nothingness and what we feel is not okay Can't have these lies to be my purpose to carry on

Emptiness is something I've noticed is a great source of beauty and happiness In whichever way you look there's nothing between you and infinity in all directions All I have is this moment I'm empty I'm empty of all judgement from the past it's all passed, it's gone Emptiness It's free from so many disturbances It's free from obstacles There is no burden, there's no hindrance Your safety, security, and happiness is just always here But somehow rather in our search for pleasure or meaning We tend to lose that place of happiness In the freedom of emptiness don't be afraid when nothing is there When nothing is there Then you're free
