Another DayI've awakened to another day,To dwell within the walls of this empty house,Mirrors, fogged,Hard to see my reflectionMy direction is blurred, I concurThere is no soul.The coldness here is difficult to bareThe loneliness, lack of care,How dare they call this my homeLovelessness, senseless sensationsThe vibrations com...
