The Void Replied “I Am You”

Life spoke to the void.

“Why do so many hate me? 

Yet they cling so tightly to my cloak.”

Death spoke to the void.

“I am accursed and feared by so many. 

Yet they all come to me in the end.”

Joy spoke to the void.

“I am pursued by all. 

Yet they find me so elusive.”

Hope asked the void:

“Why am I both held so tightly 

and thrown so easily away?”

War spoke to the void.

“I am what they hate. 

Yet they cannot live without me.”

Peace spoke to the void.

“I am sought by all. 

Yet they have never found me”

Innocence asked the void:

“Why am I both the first they have 

and the first they lose?”

Strife asked the void:

“Why am I the one that they hate to love? 

Yet they still do so love me.”

Intellect said to the void:

“I lead them further toward salvation. 

Yet I also lead them toward destruction.”

Madness asked the void:

“Why are those blessed by me 

the only ones to see the truth?”

Sanity asked the void:

“Why am I both the lens to see 

and the fog obscuring?”

Sleep said the void:

“I am necessary to them. 

Yet they do not know when I am with them.”

Pain spoke to the void.

“I am both the warning and the danger. 

Yet I am loved by some more than life.”

The void spoke to them all.

“Life, you are a beautiful lie.”

“Death, you are a painful truth.”

“Joy, you are the fleeting escape.”

“Hope, you are what gives them reason.”

“War, you are what gives them meaning.”

“Peace, you are never to be found.”

“Innocence, you are what gives memories meaning.”

“Strife, you are the catalyst.”

“Intellect, you are an illusion.”

“Madness, you are a warrior’s last stand.”

“Sanity, you are an accepted hypocrisy.”

“Sleep, you are the glimpse of reality.”

“Pain, you are the lightning rod in the maelstrom.”

“And what are you?” They asked the void.

The void replied.

“I am you”

 ~~~🎶SONG LYRICS🎵~~~

“The Void Replied”

 (Verse 1)

Life cried out, “Why do they hate me, yet hold me near?”

Death whispered, “They fear me, yet I’m always here.”

Joy confessed, “They chase me but I slip away.”

Hope sighed, “They hold me close, then throw me away.”

(Chorus) 

And the void, it listens, silent and true,

Every question echoes, “What are we to you?”

Shadows and light, all twisted inside,

And the void replied, “I am you, I am you.”

(Verse 2) 

War declared, “They curse me, yet they live through my flame.”

Peace lamented, “They call my name, but never came.”

Innocence whispered, “I am the first gift they lose.”

Strife admitted, “They hate to love me, yet still choose.”

(Chorus) 

And the void, it listens, silent and true,

Every question echoes, “What are we to you?”

Shadows and light, all twisted inside,

And the void replied, “I am you, I am you.”

(Bridge) 

Intellect leads them to rise or to fall,

Madness shows truth in the madness of all.

Sanity blinds, though it sharpens the view,

Sleep hides the world, Pain cuts it through.

(Final Chorus) 

And the void, it listens, silent and true,

Every question echoes, “What are we to you?”

Shadows and light, all twisted inside,

And the void replied…

“I am you. I am you.”
