Nox

You write the letters to yourself
 Because your mind has become a new dead language
 It's not that no one understands
 You've just been striving for some more comprehension
 But when did your heart break and take you the wrong way?
 When did you bones get so hollow?
 And when did distractions replace pursuit of passion?
 You're cheating the light you once followed
 While you've been choking back the words
 For some fear of misconstruction
 You hid your heart and thoughts
 So far down that no one can touch them
 I found you in a shallow hole, dear
 I think you lost your lovely soul there
 I found myself a home so hollow
 I'm chewing more than I can swallow
 I found myself a home so hollow
 I'm chewing more than I can swallow
