Reaching into the empty abyss
Reaching towards the light
The light of an empty hope
A hope for a new start
An escape from this black, lifelessness
Reaching for the only hope, visible among the stars
White specs among the black voids of pain
Pain of the past
The empty past, the past of an empty shell
The shell of a lifeless soul
A soul of a broken heart
