You were gone

You were gone. 

And I've finally understood what it meant to live in a colourless, tasteless world.

Without your love, none of it made sense.

Without it my wealth, my kingdom, my power... 

None of it mattered.

*

A smoldering flame, deep in my heart

Barely a sign, it's barely a spark

Holding on through, every night

Won't someone please save my life?

I'm crying for help, it's such a cliche

Invisible pain, it's filling each day

I open my mouth and feed you a lie

Won't someone please save my life?

It's fleeting

No repeating

Dull knives

Taking my life

A slow burn fire

From the inside

Dull knives

Twisting my spine

They're taking their time, time

'Til I lose my mind

-Dull Knives, Imagine Dragons
