The Vacuum Of My Heart

© 2019 Mark Cote

silent words scream
with a burning tongue
when 2 worlds collide
they sometimes come undone

(bridge) running in hollow
              mystery is sorrow
              what happens the day
              after tomorrow

too many roads
with nowhere to go
the sun burns the same
on the other side of the globe

(chorus) falling falling
                       deeper
                       deeper still
                       If I can't escape
                       If I can't escape
                       I never will
                      from the coldness where starlight falls apart
                      into the vacuum
                      into the vacuum of my heart

thorns you carry
refusing to let go
will cut the one
who holds them most

but like a boat I sail
on waves life brings
the mockingbird mocks
while the bluebird she sings

(bridge) running in hollow
                       mystery is sorrow
                       what happens the day
                       after tomorrow

(chorus)
