My heart heaves a sigh,
like a part of it still lies
with -

Why can't I seem to function without another person?

Empedocles

I feel torn between -
something can't be undone.
And there's no real answer for it,
no way of fixing things without chaos following behind.

Empedocles

Things can't obviously end so quickly and abruptly.

Empedocles

My heart heaves a sigh - I've let go and
suddenly feel
empty-handed.

Maybe it's better off this way; I finally feel pain,
instead of this euphoric dream.

I feel free, but it hurts. I want something - something assuring.
But it doesn't feel right to be pretending that things are any different.
Because I'm just living one, big, stupid lie.

I feel foolish to think I was the only one when I'm not. I'm not.
I want to be, wish I could be - but I can't. Cannot.

Empedocles

Tonight seems so empty for some odd reason.
I don't feel secure here. I feel awkward, and I'm having a horrible time sleeping.
I don't like this. This isn't what I want.
I feel confined, I feel lost - I feel trapped. I hate this. I don't want this.
I need something constant.

Empedocles

Don't take it personal.

Empedocles

We're all just bold statements too scared to scream our feelings.

Oh, I'm quite in the hot-seat tonight; apparently the topic has made its rounds before. It's nobody's secret tonight - it's nobody's secret.

Empedocles

Remember.

I don't want this moment to be just minor detail on your tapestry of life.

Apollodorus

We all have little parts of us itching to come out.

come out, come out, come out

Empedocles

Everytime you hold my hand,
you take me to the clouds. I'd never want to let go of this,
but the sound, it's way too loud.
Oh please, just say you'll run with me. We'll tear this world apart.
Oh please, just say you'll fall in love. All I've wanted from the start.

Empedocles
