I always likened Trent Reznor’s writing to J.R.R. Tolkiens music…the cadence and rhymes. Usually I am a stickler for lines matching and flow, but this was heavy on my heart and I needed to write it.

Emptiness
No matter how hard I try, no matter my true intent
There simply is no way around to really circumvent
The issues I am haunted with, feeling so misunderstood
No comfort or empathy, just told what I “should”
No mutual respect or love is left for someone like me
Just harsh judgements anger and cold insincerity
This emptiness is now left in the place I once called home
A vacant place unknown to me I am now forced to roam
Too deep I delved too much I sought to truly transcend
Too much I learned, too deep I went for them to comprehend
No longer do I seek or need the shallow company
Of masked beings who play both sides, I am truly free
There is nothing left, it’s all exposed, nowhere left to hide
I understand the severity of all the things implied
So here I sit gazing out at the sea of never-ending green
Of this void of painful emptiness, I shall rule as Queen
