Empty

Thoughts of Cypher, with lyrics to Unloco in between

I don't own the Matrix, or the song.

Cypher's thoughts, linked with lyrics by Unloco.

***

It is the question I know the answer to

~I look outside and see that everything is perfect~

The answer that has left me cold and numb

~Except for me I'll always be the one who sits and stares~

Colorblind curiosity controls us

~And now and then you're just my friend, someone I could talk to~

We seek the same truth

~And it's killing me, it's just killing me~

Then I strayed from a dream

~I feel so empty inside~

And I saw your real face for the first time

~Cause I'm a freak in your eyes~

I've been cold for so long

~I feel so empty inside~

What do you see when you look at me?

~And it's killing me~

No heart, no soul, just living to fight.

~I look outside and realize how much I'm different~

Like mercury, slow poison, slipping through my fingers

~You'll never see inside of me, inside just who I am~

Blind my eyes, the window to the soul

~And now and then you're just a friend, someone I could talk to~

Hide from me, conceal my weakness

~And it's killing me, it's just killing me~

Let me go back

~I'm outside looking in~

Let me forget you

~I look into your eyes and see that you are perfect~

Epitome of beauty, whose heart belongs to a savior

~Except for me, except for me~

I felt nothing

~I feel so empty inside~

Pulling plugs one at a time while you watched them fall in front of your eyes

~Cause I'm a freak in your eyes~

All that's left is the Trinity

~I feel so empty inside~
