What remains after the pain is gone?
When you live your life moment to moment
When the only life you know in anger and loss
When it is all gone to dust
Then what is left in your chest?
What lodges where your now broken heart once was?
When the agony has gone
What is that gives you that empty feeling
That hunger you cannot quite quench
Not food nor drink can fill it
It isn't a space it is the absence of a space
A void an infinate vaccuum that cannot be filled
So the emptiness spreads and finds words
It takes you all of you
Makes you into itself
I bitter taste gets in your mouth
And the world turns infinatly dark

They lied to me to us
They said i would heal
They said it would go
But it never goes
Once it is yours
It stays with you always
It fades from memory
But never really leaves

One memory brings it back
One hopeless act
And it will sit
Just behind your eyes
And remind you
I am here and i'll be with you
Always

So won't you sing me a rainbow Josie roll me a song
Just tonight make it right 'cause it's been wrong for oh so long
There's lots of shades of darkn
