Empty without answers

What if I have nothing left, what if all hope is gone
What if I've no answers, or my answers are wrong?
I am grinding the gears that kept me going forward
In my emptiness, all my prayers have been ignored
I surrender God, I give in, I've nothing inside me
I've lost my dreams, I have no one beside me
I gave my piety, innocence, dreams
And in the emptiness what did I receive
Did I anger you, or do as you'd have me believe?
Alone in the darkness, no nuance, just shadow
My life prattles on
I'm like a story that rings hollow
I've nothing, yes
And I know
Having nothing is not enough
In the barren emptiness I scream
Begging for anything
Because in the emptiness
Anything can feel like love
