Don't Live Like This (There's Nothing There)

 

Human beings, Don't live like this
I'm something else
Less and less
Day by night
Night by month -
I'm -
I'm crumpled clothes
Never slipped off
Just collapsed
Onto the floor
Got turned around
Where's the door
I should go
There's just no more -
For me to do
I just read and weap
Learn all the ways
To say we're lost
To understand
Why you're gone -
I'm rusting pots
Season worn, lost
A missing place
An empty chair
Got caught up
Sad and scared
I found myself -
There's nothing there
