Oh emptiness, you envelop me
Like a moth to a flame I’ll never be the same
There’s no light in this place
Just an old man to laugh in my face
Let me teach you the joke of age
Each day just fuels the rage
Little rat in a cage, you’ll never be free
Look here, look here and see
There’s an old man laughing in my face
Let me teach you the truth of age
Each passing day is a cage
Oh little rat, you’ll never be free.
Just a little piggy, squealing
No longer a wing to cower beneath
Come little piggy, come and see
Your life will be one of these
A pulpit of lies and misery
Or a sea of waste and carnage
These are the truth of age
There’s no gold in this rage
The flame snuffs out the moth
So does hope snuff out the soul.
Oh emptiness, I welcome thee.
