Depleted

When you look into my eyes

You will not see a thing alive

For what rests inside this head

Is what once lived, yet now is dead.

A man who always dreamt of life

Tried to live but died inside

A man who lives, yet chose to die

Is dead inside, yet still alive.

That man was killed by a thousand lies

Not a mortal death, but a death inside.

Those few who bear me no disguise

Show me truth behind the lies

Tell me of your wild desires

Your truth shall reignite my eyes.
