In the wilderness
Of the emptiness
Barren unwillingness
To bloom
I wither within the safety of my cocoon
Never knowing the silence that is my solace
Mock us
Imprison us within the emptiness of fear
Driving us to cower in order to survive
Never contemplating what life could be
If it wasn’t just me
Buried in the burdens of things that may go wrong
Worried I may fail to sing all the words of this song
What may I forget to say when your eyes look this way?
And so I turn away
Never giving the chance a chance
Never dancing the dance
I crawl back into the darkness of the dreams that will never be more
I close these weary eyes and pray to think no more
In the wilderness
Of the emptiness
Barren unwillingness
To bloom
I wither within the safety of my cocoon
Never knowing the silence that is my solace
Mock us
Imprison us within the emptiness of fear
Driving us to cower in order to survive
Never contemplating what life could be
If it wasn’t just me
Buried in the burdens of things that may go wrong
Worried I may fail to sing all the words of this song
What may I forget to say when your eyes look this way?
And so I turn away
Never giving the chance a chance
Never dancing the dance
I crawl back into the darkness of the dreams that will never be more
I close these weary eyes and pray to think no more

The author’s note sent this over the edge for me. “Buried in the burdens of things that may go wrong/Worried I may fail to sing all the words of this song†I love that.
