Chorus
There’s a tear in my heart, an endless ache,
Cracks in my existence, I can not seem to shake.
There’s a wound in my mind, why can’t you see?
Aching emptiness, all consuming me.
Verse 2
I’ve chased pretty illusions, temporary highs,
But they only left me lonelier, too many damn goodbyes.
I’m tired of the masquerade, pretending I’m alright,
But I’ll just keep on running, chasing the daylight.
Verse 3
I’m drifting through the darkness, drowning my sorrow,
Longing for a love and a much brighter tomorrow.
Memories of him, haunt like whispers in the night,
I’m grasping for something, someone to make it all right.
Bridge
I’m begging for a savior to pull me from the dark,
To heal the wounds, the emptiness, ignite the spark.
I’m begging for a savior to pull me from the dark,
To chase away the monsters that lurk inside my heart.
Ending Chorus
There’s a wound in my mind, why can’t you see?
Aching emptiness, all consuming me.
I’m searching for someone to make me feel whole.
Someone to possess me and fill this hole in my soul.
2. HAPPINESS IS FLEETING
August 27
For the next few hours, I poured my heart and soul into each performance, strumming and singing with unwavering passion. The stage became my sanctuary, a place where time ceased to exist. I took a few ten-minute breaks here and there, allowing myself a moment to catch my breath and to refuel. Tyler made sure I never went hungry or thirsty, graciously providing me with food and drinks at no charge for the night. And the wings were incredible.
For my final song, I had chosen a hauntingly beautiful cover of a cover, “Wolf Like Me” by Lera Lynn and Shovels and Rope. Its lyrics of desperation and desire resonated through the air. The audience, who remained silent, seemed captivated, hanging onto every word and note. I could only see the few in the front, but they were staring intensely, slack-jawed. It was almost euphoric.
As I delivered the last line with a delicate yet powerful conviction, I opened my eyes to a wave of applause and cheering.
