HARDENED


What's here, what's there?
What's everywhere
Is it in my mind
Or floating on the air

Who talks to me?
Nobody that knows my name
Just one that feeds my pain
Spoiling all my games

The shadows engulf the sun
All my thoughts undone
I gave away the difference
And went right back to me

Something takes my mind
And drags it into black
The laughter comes when all is gone
The madness is erased

Cleanse my soul in the cleanest
Water near the garden
My soul melts to nothing
Yet all my feelings harden
And I turn to stone
