Coal Hearted Lies

i run down the halls
to escape my oncoming falls
but they catch up to me and i just fall, fall, fall.

it was alright before
but now there's no one there
to catch me in their arms
before i'm trapped in the pit of despair

my body's broken
my eyes blood shot
i scream silently
as i sit here to rot

i'm trapped and wounded
blinded and binded
yet alive all the same
just enough to suffer and take all the blame
for all the lies shoved around in my face
meant to fill all the 'empty' space
except it wasn't empty, it was my soul
but now it's gone and my heart's turned to coal
