empirical shadows and beautiful light

i scavenge for a piece of me
through shattered reveries
for love so that i may be free
come scavenge for my soul with me
from where you haunt my aching heart
to where i'll always die
then scavenge for a way to part
away these tears i cry
what way is there i'm meant to be
when they can't understand
i scavenge for that piece of me
throughout these foreign lands
and crawl with hands leading the way
in hope to find my eyes
and when i do i'll search for you
beneath your sordid guise
