i feel nothing

perfect life, so happy.
nothing wrong, so joyful.
i have no insides, so empty and barren.
hope that all dies, tempting yet unsparing

but it doesn't matter,
nothing matters.
i feel nothing,
i don't care.

given everything, i just want more.
nothing can quench my emptiness.
you tried to be my perfect whore.
now you're gone, you left me this.

but it doesn't matter,
nothing matters.
i feel nothing,
i don't care.

the surface is so beautiful,
so very, very pretty.
just underneath the polished skin,
everything tarnished and dirty.

but it doesn't matter,
nothing matters.
i feel nothing,
i don't care.
