Writing With An Empty Pen Poem by one man alone

I went to hell and back
to see if I had a soul
I went and hit rock bottom
to prove that I can't fall

I sat alone in darkness
to see if I was blind
I threw away my eyes
to see if I could find

I dressed myself in black
to help me disappear
when my brother died
I shed an ocean's tear

I looked beyond my sin
to see my only son
I found an empty pen
to write the things I've done

I wrote about my world
to find the world is telling lies
I wrote to god himself
to ask why the good one dies

I walked along some quick sand
to prove that I won't sink
I wrote about the truth
to make you people think

I wrote with such a passion
like I was making love
I only told the truth
in all of thee above
