Deep

Turned into,
not me,

it's just
so plain to see,

but who am I,
who have I become?

This empty hollow shell
of the man I use to be,

is all that you will find,
when you look at me,

look at me,

My mind,
once so bright,
has now a 
such dim glow,

the lights aren't on,
and nobody is home,

I'm gone away,
gone crazy,

gone
gone
gone…

As I try with all my might
to outrun this pain,
and I lose this fight.

You can't outrun pain,
that lives deep inside your heart,
as a dog can't outrun
it's own tail,

still, I try.
