Wasted Space

I am a wasted space,

In this game we play,

I wear my heart on my sleeve,

Hoping you'll come for me.

Seek and you will find,

The darkness I hide behind,

Lift up the curtain and see,

The unveiled rawness of me,

Silly, silly boy you see,

I am a wasted space.

Silly, silly boy you see,

I am a wasted space.

You have a chance to be,

The lock that fits the key,

You know where I lay,

I'm an echo of your grave.

Shadows that watch you sleep,

Knowing the fate you'll meet,

I slip away from time,

The essence of design.

Silly, silly boy you see,

I am a wasted space.

Silly, silly boy you see,

I am a wasted space.

Emotions locked away,

Numbness comes out to play,

Wisdom embroidered blades,

Slice through the olden ways.

Misty clouds above,

I've always envied love,

You put your hand in mine,

And realize that I am no more.

Silly, silly boy you see,

I am a wasted space.

Silly, silly boy you see,

I am a wasted space.

Dry your eyes my dear,

See the ink you've smeared,

In this game we play,

You are a wasted space.

PSA: I wrote this when I was 17 years old and actually recorded myself singing it! (it's technically a ballad) I tried to link it below for you guys to hear the rough draft of what I was going for, but this site won't let me link audio, only visual. I hope you enjoy the read though!
